Hi Michael,

I've just noticed that processRequest option (aka. only process w/o get or put)
is not implemented by dbProcessNotify().  It's only referenced in the header.
I'm inclined to remove it.

I’ve always felt that enum should have been implemented as a bitmap, which would have reduced the number of equality comparisons in the code. No objections from me to your removing it, we can always bring it back if someone decides to implement that functionality.

I'm writing a test which needs to process an asynchronous record
and wait for completion.  This seemed like the natural way.
I can workaround by using processGetRequest with an empty getCallback.

For another solution to that see modules/database/test/std/rec where both asyncproctest.c and asyncSoftTest.c FLNK to a subroutine record that triggers an epicsEvent.
