Subject: comment a field with a macro

Hi,

I see some strange behavior when I want to comment

a field in a record if there there are different macros in it

E.g.

 

record(ai, "$(user):PiraniGauge") {

  field(DESC, "Readback form Pirani Gauge")

  field(EGU,  "Torr")

  field(VAL, 4e-07)

  #field(SIML, "$(test):SimulationMode")

}

 

 

When then I load the db,

I must defined also the macro $test even if I don’t use it (its commented),

Otherwise I will get this warning from the iocsh

 

…………

macLib: macro test is undefined (expanding string #  field(SIML, "$(test):SimulationMode")

………..

 

i.e. I have to write

 

dbLoadRecords("piranig.db","user=me, test=mytest")

 

Is this normal ? why it does not skip the entire commented line ?

 

Thanks

Best
