calc and calcout record get_precision bug

[Stephanie Allison]

Precision is not properly initialized before calling recGblGetPrec in the calc and calcout records. Also, I found some channel access calls don't get the proper precision unless the FieldIndex is used to determine if the PV is VAL or not. Please change get_precision to be as follows (which is consistent with subRecord):

static long get_precision(DBADDR *paddr, long *pprecision)
{
    calcRecord *prec = (calcRecord *)paddr->precord;
    int fieldIndex = dbGetFieldIndex(paddr);

    *pprecision = prec->prec;
    if (fieldIndex != calcRecordVAL)
        recGblGetPrec(paddr, pprecision);

    return 0;
}

Fixed in R3.14.12 (just!). Thanks!

That was fast! Thank you and have a very nice Thanksgiving,
