All, 
Most of you must be familiar with dbLoadRecord and dbLoadTemplate.
I like the first one because you can pass parameters which are not
necessarily hard coded (i.e. you can use the same db file for different
instances).

epicsEnvSet(DEVN,"toto")
dbLoadRecord(file.db,"deviceName=$(DEVN)")

I like the dbLoadTemplate because of the clarity, but then for each
device instantiation you need to create a complete substitution file.

Is there a way to do something like this:
dbLoadTemplate(file.sub,"deviceName=$(DEVN)")
Where the db files is generated and then parsed once again with macro
provided in command line?
