Nice work.
I accidentally found out that now the PV tool set requires strict type matching.
I guess it is implemented intentionally. Right?

For example, with Timo's example, if I do a pvput with:
$ pvput verylongOut 123456.78
Old : verylongOut                   123456
Error: parseToPOD: Extraneous characters
New : verylongOut                   123456

Thanks,
Guobao

    As commented on the tracker, I re-built and tested, now it works. Thanks
    Michael for the super fast fix!

    @Ernest: Michael already replied concerning testing. You can also build an
    IOC, pointing to the 7.0.2 base and the latest fix by Michael.

    Nothing very special is needed; I attached the makefile and st.cmd that I
    used, just for reference.

    Just add records something like this:

    record(int64in, "verylongIn")
    {
      field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
    }
    record(int64out, "verylongOut")
    {
      field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
    }

    (I added the DTYP, just to be sure. Would be the default anyway.)

    Cheers,

    Timo
