This issue also came up a couple of months ago in the context of the VxWorks global variable device support. There was an _extensive_ discussion and in the end it was agreed (I believe!) that there was a case for giving the creator of the database control over whether the initial value came from the DOL field or from the underlying global variable. So this is what was done in this specific case... but maybe a more general solution is called for? William
