Re: subArray INDX field? (3.14.6 -v- 3.13.6)

[Carl Lionberger <CALionberger@lbl.gov>]

INDX would have to be DBF_INLINK in the dbd file for that to work, which 
I don't think its ever been.  INDX can be driven by a dbput from a gui 
or another record, causing the subArray record to process by process 
passive-- this was the expected mode of operation when we developed it.

Maybe you had a local version at SLAC?
