Re: Problem when formating a field as HEX32

["Kasemir, Kay" <kasemirk@ornl.gov>]

Hi:

Well, not sure what else could be different.
I'm using the latest SNS version of CSS ('nightly' build from https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/css/products.html)
and under Edit, Preferences, CSS Applications, Display, BOY, OPI Runtime I set "PV Connection Layer" to "vtype_pv".

Thank you, Kay for answering.

It could be that that is part of the problem, but I'm not sure.

In any case, I do not understand why it works with Decimal format type
and not with Hex32. I'm not changing at all the database, it is just a
formatting.

Or maybe am I missing something?

Thank you in advance

Pilar
