Re: labCA and EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES

[Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@bessy.de>]

Hi Matt,

as Andrew covered the technical aspects and pointed out solutions, I 
just want to clarify:

In your original mail, you sounded as you were assuming that the 
environment variable EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES was introduced with the 
intention of limiting the size of arrays that CA is able to handle.

My statement was: No, it was the other way round. The limitation had 
been there from the beginning. The environment variable was introduced 
with the intention to overcome this limitation and allow CA to handle 
larger arrays.

Sorry for being not clear enough in the first place.

Cheers,
Ralph
