Note that this code is using an input link INPD for doing output

operations. This apparently works in current versions of EPICS Base,

but is not guaranteed to continue to work in the future. We don't have

specific plans to break it, but since we don't test or support this

usage it could stop working in any future release with no notice.

If you want to do puts from a subroutine record, take a look at the aSub

record type, which has output as well as input links.
