After upgrading EPICS, I started getting this message for some PVs: missing record support entry table Record Support Routine (get_enum_str) Record Type ai PV XF:28ID1-CT{RG:B1}T-I.SEVR dbGetField It seems to be because I am converting an enum to a string in: field(INPA, "$(Sys)$(Dev)T$(N_T)-I.SEVR") field(FTA, "STRING") This used to work in previous versions of EPICS, and in fact I can get the problem to go away if I read the PV over channel access, like: "$(Sys)$(Dev)T$(N_T)-I.SEVR CP” So I am wondering: What is the recommended way to get the severity string from a PV in recent versions of EPICS?
