Hi all,

I made a quick try to use the 64-bit record types (int64in/int64out) with base 7.0.2.

Trying to pvget the record, I get the following message on the IOC console:

And pvget times out. With caget, I can read the value but as expected, I do not get the 64-bit integer (because ca does not support it, obviously). 

Any ideas? Maybe I am missing some configuration, but I could not figure out from the release notes if I needed to do something extra.

This is on Mac OSX El Capitan, 10.11.6. I can try other platforms later but at the first sight this does not appear to be a platform-specific issue.

I would also like to try this on my platforms here at SLAC.

Can you share what you have for your IOC?

E.g.  <TOP>/xxxApp/src/Makefile

         <TOP>/xxxApp/Db/*.db

         <TOP>/iocBoot/<ioc>/st.cmd

ernesto@localhost  (7.0) $ pwd 
/usr/local/controls/epics/base/R7.0.2/dbd 
ernesto@localhost  (7.0) $ grep int64in * 
devSoft.dbd:device(int64in,CONSTANT,devI64inSoft,"Soft Channel") 
devSoft.dbd:device(int64in,CONSTANT,devI64inSoftCallback,"Async Soft Channel") 
int64inRecord.dbd:recordtype(int64in) { 
softIoc.dbd:recordtype(int64in) { 
softIoc.dbd:device(int64in, CONSTANT, devI64inSoft, "Soft Channel") 
softIoc.dbd:device(int64in, CONSTANT, devI64inSoftCallback, "Async Soft Channel") 
softIocPVA.dbd:recordtype(int64in) { 
softIocPVA.dbd:device(int64in, CONSTANT, devI64inSoft, "Soft Channel") 
softIocPVA.dbd:device(int64in, CONSTANT, devI64inSoftCallback, "Async Soft Channel") 
stdRecords.dbd:include "int64inRecord.dbd"
