Hi Alfio,

That is indeed the expected way to get the canonical name, and I can use caget's long string support to fetch names that are longer than 39 characters:
Unfortunately pvget doesn’t provide any equivalent to the
-S flag of caget, and I’m not aware of any functionality in QSRV that can handle long strings properly at the server end (which would be the right place to handle this):
There is an issue filed against QSRV for this, but nobody has proposed a good solution yet. Ideas and code contributions welcomed from any C++ developers out there!
