In the past, I routinely did reads and writes into records on the
ioc console; one common action is to 'flip a bit' on a BO record by
writing a 1 or 0. For example, console>dbpf "testborec","1" or even: console>dbpf "testborec.VAL","1" This does not seem to function properly on my 3.14.11 Windows softIOC: epics>dbpf "wst:v13C","1" Illegal choice PV: wst:v13C 1 filename="../dbTest.c" line number=333 Illegal choice - dbPutField error It appears that I can only put an enumerated value into the value field; so to correct the above example: epics>dbpf "wst:v13C","Open" DBR_STRING: "Open" seems to work fine. Is this a feature, flaw, or user error on my part? |
