Can anybody help please -- passing STRING to aSub record parameter field doesn’t seem to work.

My aSub record

record(aSub,"TRANSMIT")

{

                field(INAM,"myfunctionInit")

                ……

                field(INPA,"Test string")

                field(FTA,"STRING")

                field(NOA,"20")

                ……

}

myfunctionInit(aSubRecord * pSub)

{

……

                char test[40];

                strcpy(test, (char *)subr->a);

printf("Text: %s\n", test);

                ……

}

The printf statement doesn’ t print anything. When I check the length of the ‘test’ variable, it is always 0.

Have I done wrong?

Thanks,

Jim
