Fwd: Problem with creating an array of Long with aSub record

Hi All,

I was toying around with an aSub Record to get it to generate an array...

So I've got this code:

static long gen_array(aSubRecord *precord)

{

    long lx=1292;

    long arr[lx];

    long i=0;

    for (i=0;i<lx;i++)

    {

         arr[i] = i;

    }

    memcpy(precord->vala,arr,precord->nova*sizeof(long));

    return 0;

}

and this record:

record(aSub, "MyASubRecord") {

    field(SNAM, "gen_array")

    field(FTVA, "LONG")

    field(NOVA, "1292")

}

Given the value of lx, I would expect to see VALA with 0,1,2,3,4...1291

But I do a caget MyASubRecord.VALA, I get this:

MyASubRecord.VALA 1292 0 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 4... 644 0 645 0

The number of elements is correct, i.e. 1292, but there are 0s interlaced with the correct data ??? I'm sure it's something silly, but I cannot figure it out.

Thanks

David
