Hi,

 	I'm having a problem using the fields DOL[1-A] of the sequence
record as constants. My database looks like:

.....
 	field(DOL1,"0x80")
        field(LNK1,"SarcBase5.VAL  PP MS")
.....

	I want the constant value of 0x80 to be written to the vme
Record SarcBase5.VAL.   When I load the database, EPICS thinks that these
are CA_LINKS and not constants, e.g.:(from dbtr of the record)

DOA: 0              DOL1:CA_LINK 0x80 NPP NMS               
DOL2:CA_LINK 0x88 NPP NMS               DOL3:CA_LINK 0x84 NPP NMS               
DOL4:CA_LINK 0x80 NPP NMS 

It clearly states in the seq record reference manual that these can be
constants.  I'm sure this written down somewhere, but I've not been able
to find it -- How do I indentify these values as constants?

		Thanks in Advance,

			Jeff
