Hi all,

I found a bug in 3.14.12 that was confusing me with a misleading error

message.

I got this:

"<recordname>.FLNK is a Channel Access Link but does not link to a PROC

field"

But the FLNK was fine. It turned out that the message has ".FLNK" hard

coded. But there are forward links with different names, e.g. in the

fanout record.

The wrong code is in /src/misc/iocInit.c function doResolveLinks().

                        errlogPrintf("%s.FLNK is a Channel Access Link "
                            " but does not link to a PROC field\n",
                                precord->name);

should be

                        errlogPrintf("%s.%s is a Channel Access Link "
                            " but does not link to a PROC field\n",
                                precord->name, pdbFldDes->name);

I found the same bug in 3.15.1, src/ioc/db/dbLink.c function dbInitLink().
