Subject: Problem with a calc record

Dear All,
I want to check if a counter is alive or not. I wrote these two simple simulation records: 

record (calc, "CNT")
{
       field (INPA, "CNT")
       field (CALC, "A+1")
       field (DISV, "1")
}
record (calc, "CNT2")
{
       field (INPA, "CNT NPP")
       field (INPB, "CNT PP")
       field (CALC, "B-A")
      field (SCAN, "1 second")
}
Everything works, the calc record CNT2 returns 1 except when I decide to stop the counter CNT giving it DISA = 1. In this case it returns 0. When I do the same thing on my real hardware, the record calc doesn't work, it always returns 0 (INPA and INPB are incremented but equally). 
The PLC sends data to the ai record each 100ms using s7nodave driver.

record (ai, "$(CU):CPC-CNT1")
{
    field (DESC, "Alive counter")
    field (DTYP, "s7nodave")
    field (INP, "@$(CU) DB1.DBD0 int32")
    field (PINI, "YES")
    field (VAL, "0")
}
record (calc, "CNT2")
{
       field (INPA, "$(CU):CPC-CNT1 NPP")
       field (INPB, "$(CU):CPC-CNT1 PP")
       field (CALC, "B-A")
      field (SCAN, "1 second")
}

What I'am doing wrong?
