Hi Jeff, The Array has zero length (NORD=0) after boot. Then I get garbage as first character while the number of elements is 128 in my case and this number was requested. When specifying 0 at request I get args.count=0 as it should with 3.14.12.

Jeff Thank you Jeff, this confirms that I can set 0 in the ca_add_event_array. In any case of epics combinations (ioc, client) that would work properly at monitor receive.

Telefon: +41 56 310 34 06 E-Mail: [email protected] Ø My question is: when specifying 0, how does that behave in older epics versions and channel Ø access gateways. Does it use then the maximum amount of elements ? When a channel connects the maximum number of elements is supplied by the server as a channel attribute. In newer versions of EPICS the current number of elements is returned with each subscription update. In older versions the maximum number of elements was always returned; when the current number of elements was less than the maximum number then any additional elements at the end were zero padded. Jeff Hi all, When monitoring a non initialized char array with ca_add_event_array, one gets most of the time in the first element of the array. This only when the request uses ca_element_count(chid) which is non zero. When using the dynamic behavior by specifiying 0 elements, the received args.count correspond to the actual size of the array, including zero when not initialized. My question is: when specifying 0, how does that behave in older epics versions and channel access gateways. Does it use then the maximum amount of elements ?
