Hi I have been wondering why some records only contains such a minimal number of inputs or outputs? For example the fanout records have
6 links, seq records have 10 inputs, subroutine records have 12 inputs, etc?. We started to have some applications where such numbers are really insufficient. I know that I can cascade records in case of exceeding the number of inputs, but I am wondering what
is the idea behind such limitations other than field name length requirements. Thanks. Abdalla Al-Dalleh Control Engineer SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) Fax: +96253511423 abdalla.ahmad at sesame.org.jo |
