Subject: dbd file parser in 3.15 is too strict
From: Dirk Zimoch <[email protected]>

The dbd file parser does not accept empty strings as initial values:

Syntax error in 'initial()'
Context: field(PORT, DBF_STRING) in recordtype(asyn) in file '../O.Common/streamApp.dbd'

The field in question is:

    field(PORT,DBF_STRING) {
        prompt("asyn port")
        promptgroup(GUI_INPUTS)
        special(SPC_MOD)
        interest(1)
        initial("")
        size(40)
    }

The problem lies in lib/perl/DBD/Parser.pm where $string does not accept empty strings.
