Re: Retrieving record name from aSub input/output fields

["Wang, Andrew via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Update. I think I got it. I had to do the following.

static long func(aSubRecord *prec)

{

         DBLINK inpa = prec->inpa;

                char *rec_name = inpa.value.pv_link.pvname;

                printf(“Record name in INPA is %s\n”, rec_name);

                return 0;

}

Subject: Retrieving record name from aSub input/output fields

 

Hi all,

 

Quick question this time. I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve the name of the record referenced in an OUTLINK/INLINK field such as INPA, OUTA, etc. in the aSub routine.

 

For instance, suppose I had an aSub record such as the following.

 

record(aSub, “example”)

{

                field(SNAM, “func”)

                field(INPA,   “rec_in_inpa”)

}

 

I would like to be able to print the name of the record in INPA within “func”.

 

static long func(aSubRecord *prec)

{

                char *rec_name = prec->____;

                printf(“Record name in INPA is %s\n”, rec_name);

                return 0;

}

 

Thanks,

Andy
