Hi Tech-Talk,

I'm playing a bit with the NTEnum

(https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/specs/Normative-Types-Specification.html#ntenum),

and I'm wondering if would be possible to use a string as the input so I

would get its index.

Something like:

pvput PVEnum "ABC"
pvget PVEnum
return : 5

I'm using this db as a start point:

Thanks in advance
Cheers
