Hi,

We see an INVALID alarm when writing to fields in a Fermilab specific
record that are not the VAL field using a longout record and Soft
Channel device support.  I think the INVALID alarm is correct based on
the code but I don't know why it should be an error.  In dbPut
(dbAccess.c) we have         

	isValueField = dbIsValueField(pfldDes);
        if (isValueField) precord->udf=FALSE;

When udf is true the INVALID alarm is signaled from the longout record
(longoutRecord.c, alarm()).

        if(plongout->udf == TRUE ){
                recGblSetSevr(plongout,UDF_ALARM,INVALID_ALARM);
                return;
        }

Have I missed something?  Is this how it should work?

Thanks

Geoff
