The ERR field has an error in it, so the record did try to process, it just never successfully completed. I haven't seen that error before, but it appears that it points to some sort of issue with invalid memory access during the code execution. I'm trying to track down what went wrong.

Thanks for correcting me, I didn’t notice that PACT was still 1.

Does it also log lua errors using errlogPrintf() or an equivalent? I would want the IOC's error log to have a record of this kind of problem, and to not have to monitor the ERR fields of all the lua records.

I like the luascript script solution. But unfortunately it won’t work for me. The record is always in SEVR: invalid mode and there is no input to the AA, BB … fields:

Did I missed something with the record settings?

Your record doesn’t appear to have been processed at all yet (STAT is UDF, UDF is 1 and TIME is <undefined>). Does processing it change the result? You can have that happen automatically when the IOC boots by setting PINI to YES, or manually with this iocsh command:

dbpf Topo:FilePath.PROC 1
