Frontier DLL programming problem with xOdbDefined

[Steven Manschot]

Hi,

I've made a test dll with a function called MagickTest3:

odbBool CALLBACK MagickTest3 (tydllparamblock * data, XDLLProcTable * 
proctable) {
	odbRef odb;

	odb = (*(proctable->xOdbGetCurrentRoot)) ();

	if (odb != NULL) {
		if ((*(proctable->xOdbDefined)) (odb, "\x12" "scratchpad.testvalue")) 
{ 	// <-- Fails
			return(TRUE);
		}
	}

	return (FALSE);
}

In the scratchpad table, in the Radio.root odb, I created a number called 
"testvalue".
The function returns FALSE and I have no idea why...

In the examples for writing a DLL there's a function called "Counter" with 
sets a value called "user.myextdllvalue". This one
works fine with the xOdbDefined function. Is it because it creates the 
value itself instead?

BTW what is the purpose of the "\x12" in front of "scratchpad.testvalue"?

Thanks in advance,

Steven Manschot.
