+<h3>Removed the last vestiges of RSET::get_value()</h3>
+
+<p>The IOC has not called the get_value() routine in the RSET for a very long
+time, but there was still one implementation left in the event record support
+code, and a structure definition for one of the original arguments to that
+routine was defined in recGbl.h. Both of these have now been removed.</p>
