At least in our installation they do:

caput STRCHAN199 abcdef, ghijk

Old : STRCHAN199

New : STRCHAN199                     abcdef, ghijk

caget STRCHAN199

STRCHAN199                     abcdef, ghijk

Here the comma is the last char of the first string. It does not display

commas between the strings.

Kay, I didn't understand your intent here:

But it might be better to work around this further down on the IOC:

Create just one string with the text that you want.

Since a stringin/stringout record is limited to 40 chars, use a waveform

of CHAR for that custom text.

Does it differ from this method?

I would like it to be truncated on the IOC side.
