David,

If 40 characters is enough, use a stringin record (the device support could fetch the latest message). If you need more than 40 characters, use a waveform record with type = char.

Having fun yet?

While I'm working on coming up with definitions for all these things...

There are items in the GE Multilin relays that are 'strings' that can be read by my driver. Is there any way to make the string available to a DB record, such that if I get an alarm condition (which is what the strings are), I can display the string in the display somehow?
