Subject: Question about alias name

Dear all,

I try to use alias name for my existed pv names, part of the record are as follows:

record (calc, "test")
{
        alias("test:alias_name")
        field(INPA,"test_pv.VAL")
        field(ADEL, "-1")
        field(CALC, "A*10")
        field(EGU, "m")
        field(FLNK, "test2")
}

record(calc, "test2")
{        ......
         ......
}

When I run the IOC, I received the following errors: 
ErrorCan't create alias "test:alias_name" for "test" Error at or before ")" in file "db/ai.template" line XX.
And XX is the alias filed line number. 

Although showed the error messages, the alias PV name "test:alias_name" can normally receive the same data as PV name "test". I have no idea how to correct the error messages. 

Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
