Re: Scanning on event number fails with EPICS 3.16

[Dirk Zimoch <dirk.zimoch@psi.ch>]

This is interesting. When I wrote the "named Events" feature some years 
ago, I tested with something like 2 which became "2" and all was fine. 
However I never thought about generating the value from a calc. This 
should be fixed, or at least "2.000000" and "2" should be treated as equal.

I will start working on it...
