Sorry I worded that reply badly, the field modifier of course comes after the (optional) field name. You can only omit the dot when you’re addressing the VAL field with no modifiers.
And of course CA clients should normally treat a channel name as an opaque string, since only the specific server knows how to parse it properly. Non-IOC servers using the PCAS or some other server library can use totally different syntax and
semantics for names.
