You cannot store a long string in a stringin record.

However, you can store a long string in a waveform record with FTVL=CHAR.  caget, medm and other clients know how to display this correctly.

Here is an example:


corvette:~>cainfo GSE-PIL1:cam1:FullFileName_RBV
GSE-PIL1:cam1:FullFileName_RBV
    State:            connected
    Host:             164.54.160.161:5064
    Access:           read, write
    Native data type: DBF_CHAR
    Request type:     DBR_CHAR
    Element count:    256

corvette:~>caget -S GSE-PIL1:cam1:FullFileName_RBV
GSE-PIL1:cam1:FullFileName_RBV /cars5/Data/gpd_user/data/idc/2014/run1/eng/testing/images/testing_1/S045/stubbs_test_1002.tif
