Hi, Ralph.

That's a big pain.  That would suggest I should get rid of any
CA links in my records and only do CA stuff with SNL programs.

In reality, this calcout thing is a bit contrived; I was just
creating a small test to show the problem.  What I really want
to do is to use the putNotify functionality that some extension
records use to wait for all records to finish processing as a
result of a put.  Examples of this are the sseq record
(WAIT[1-A] fields) in the std module, the scalcout record (WAIT
field) in the calc module, and the sscan record in the sscan
module.  All of these will have problems if processed before the
CA links are connected.

Thanks,

Lewis
