Problems with Dynamic Array population

["Brown, David L." <browndl1@ornl.gov>]

Hi, all,

I am attempting to dynamically populate arrays in a Sequencer using EPICS version R3.14.11.  In order to get around a 40 char limit on PVs, I'm using a database to serve alias PVs with shorter names.  All of the PVs in this one array (defined as a double [7] ) are bi records with bi record inputs.  When I get to the array element #4, the console reads:

"seq_pvMonitor: pvVarMonitorOn() PV_Name
     failure: The data type specified is invalid
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Any ideas as to why this might happen with this one bi record (I'm suspecting that the next one in line does it as well) and not with the other 4 before it?

My code looks sort of like this:

Program Thing

#define something
char var[32];
char var1[32];
char var2[32];
char var3[32];
char var4[32];
char sysid[32];
char sysidn[40];
char preamble1[40];
char preamble2[40];
char preamble3[40];
char blah[40];
string n;


double Array [7];
assign Array "";
monitor Array;

ss State_Machine
{
State Start
{
entry
{
strcpy(var,macValueGet("S"));
strcpy(var1,macValueGet("SS"));
strcpy(var,macValueGet("N"));
strcpy(var,macValueGet("I"));
strcpy(preamble1,var);
strcat(preamble1,var1);
strcat(preamble1,":WS");
strcat(preamble1,"n");
strcat(preamble1,":");
strcat(preamble1,var4);
strcpy(preamble2,var);
strcat(preamble2,var1);
strcat(preamble2,":FC");
strcat(preamble2,"n");
strcat(preamble2,"_out:");
strcat(preamble2,var4);
strcpy(preamble3,var);
strcat(preamble3,var1);
strcat(preamble3,":FC");
strcat(preamble3,"n");
strcat(preamble3,"_ok:");
strcat(preamble3,var4);
}
when()
{
if( strcmp(var, "DTL_")==0)
{
sprintf(blah, "%s_input\n", preamble1);
pvAssign(Array[0],blah);
sprintf(blah, "%s_raw\n", preamble1);
pvAssign(Array[1],blah);
sprintf(blah, "%s_input\n", preamble2);
pvAssign(Array[2],blah);
sprintf(blah, "%s_raw\n", preamble2);
pvAssign(Array[3],blah);
sprintf(blah, "%s_input\n", preamble3);
pvAssign(Array[4],blah);
sprintf(blah, "%s_raw\n", preamble3);
pvAssign(Array[5],blah);
sprintf(blah, "HardCodedPV\n");
pvAssign(Array[6],blah);
}
}
} state Next
}
