Update. I think I got it. I had to do the following.

static long func(aSubRecord *prec)

{

DBLINK inpa = prec->inpa;

char *rec_name = inpa.value.pv_link.pvname;

printf(“Record name in INPA is %s\n”, rec_name);

return 0;

}

Subject: Retrieving record name from aSub input/output fields

Hi all,

Quick question this time. I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve the name of the record referenced in an OUTLINK/INLINK field such as INPA, OUTA, etc. in the aSub routine.

For instance, suppose I had an aSub record such as the following.

record(aSub, “example”)

{

field(SNAM, “func”)

field(INPA, “rec_in_inpa”)

}

I would like to be able to print the name of the record in INPA within “func”.

static long func(aSubRecord *prec)

{

char *rec_name = prec->____;

printf(“Record name in INPA is %s\n”, rec_name);

return 0;
