Bug Description
For array records (waveform & friends), initialization of array data can be done through a const link, e.g.
field(INP, { const: [65, 66, 67, 68] } )
Array records of value type CHAR should also allow initialization through a string, so that the const link shown above can be specified as
field(INP, { const: "ABCD" } )
