The long string output record must specify from where it gets its desired output
string. The first field that determines where the desired output originates is
the output mode select (OMSL) field, which can have two possible value:
C<closed_loop> or C<supervisory>. If C<supervisory> is specified, DOL is
ignored, the current value of VAL is written, and VAL can be changed externally
via dbPuts at run-time. If C<closed_loop> is specified, the VAL field's value is
obtained from the address specified in the desired output location field (DOL)
which can be either a database link or a channel access link.
the output mode select (OMSL) field, which can have two possible values:
C<closed_loop> or C<supervisory>. If C<closed_loop> is specified, the VAL
field's value is fetched from the address specified in the Desired Output Link
field (DOL) which can be either a database link or a channel access link. If
C<supervisory> is specified, DOL is ignored, the current value of VAL is
written, and VAL can be changed externally via dbPuts at run-time.
The maximum number of characters in VAL is given by SIZV, and cannot be larger
than 65535.
DOL can also be a constant in addition to a link, in which case VAL is
initialized to the constant value. Your string constant, however, may be
interpreted as a CA link name. If you want to initialize your string output
record, it is therefore best to use the VAL field. Note that if DOL is a
constant, OMSL cannot be C<closed_loop>.
DOL can also be a constant instead of a link, in which case VAL is initialized
to the constant value. Most simple string constants are likely to be interpreted
as a CA link name though. To initialize a string output record it is simplest
to set the VAL field directly; alternatively use a JSON constant link type in
the DOL field.
