Hi All

 

I was wondering if it safe to set the EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH env variable in some snippet to point to a local db directory  

 

require X

require Y

require Z

 

epicsEnvSet(EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH, "/mypath/db:$(EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH)")

dbLoadRecords(“mydb.db”)

 

……………

 

 

The file mydb.db in this case is in the /mypath/db directory.

 

What I have noticed is that doing that the EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH variable get somehow truncated

(looking at the EpicsEnvShow)

and so the path to the db of module Z for instance can be lost.

 

I was wondering if this is a feature, meaning that EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH should be never set in a snippet,

Since it is just and only the require module which should set it.

 

Thanks

Best

Alfio
