Using a Waveform record (char type representing a String) as input to an aSub record

[David Michel <dmichel76@googlemail.com>]

Hi All,

I'm using a Waveform record of type char to represent a string (not using a  Stringin or Stringout record since this string has more than 40 characters).

That works well and I can easily put a string into this record such with caput -a and read it back with caget -s

Now, I need to use this string in an aSub record but I'm having difficulties in doing so.

char ** myString;

myString = (char **) precord->a;

printf("%s\n",myString);

The results of the printf statement shows only the first character of the string in ASCII.

Any idea of I can solve this?

Many thanks

David
