Description
autosave has support for long string records by using a $ at the end of the pv name in the req file to save over forty characters. Normally, inlinks are only autosaved up to forty characters even if that field value is longer. If I try to the autosave an inlink with a $ at the end of the pv, I expected that I would be able to save and restore more than forty characters for an inlink; however, what actually happens is that the entry for the inlink with a $ is also set to an empty string even though the inlink actually has a value. If I manually edit the sav file entry for an inlink to have a value greater than forty characters, it restores the full value correctly so I think this is exclusively a save issue. Presumably, the same thing happens when using out and forward links.
