Hi Juliane,

Your DBD file, example.dbd is wrong. So you have a lot of error
message in your IOC startup. Please see below "snip snip section"
Since I can get the code of this repository if this is public, could
you point me where your repository is?  I cc this email to my lab
account.
And ALS also has the similar db file, which you may get more benefit
from your IOC also.

Han

dbLoadDatabase "dbd/example.dbd"\
Declaration of recordtype(scalcout) preceeded full definition.\
Error at or before "\}" in file "dbd/example.dbd" line 10293\
