Support for DBR_INT64 missing in caget/camonitor?

["Heinz Junkes \(FHI\) via Tech-talk" <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi,

I have an int64in record and cannot read the decimal value via caget/camonitor.

With caget/camonitor I get the value displayed as float:

(base) hactar:~ junkes$ caget PPB:DOOR::WIEGAND:1:data
PPB:DOOR::WIEGAND:1:data       8.59102e+09
(base) hactar:~ junkes$ camonitor PPB:DOOR::WIEGAND:1:data
PPB:DOOR::WIEGAND:1:data       2025-07-24 10:33:53.999486 8.59102e+09


The attempt to specify the type is not possible:

(base) hactar:~ junkes$ caget -d DBR_INT64 PPB:DOOR::WIEGAND:1:data
Requested dbr type out of range or invalid - ignored. ('caget -h' for help.)
