PINI Processing and PHAS values

-

The PINI field now has its own menu type with two more choices, RUN -and PAUSE, in addition to the previous NO and YES -values which remain and mean the same. The new values cause the record to be -processed during the announcement of the new initHookAtIocRun and -initHookAtIocPause states respectively. Records with PINI=YES -will be processed during the iocBuild stageof iocInit, and -will be follwed by records with PINI=RUN during the iocRun -stage. If an iocPause command is given, any records with -PINI=PAUSE will be processed, and a subsequent iocRun command -causes the PINI=RUN records to be processed again.
