OID expanded with number of OIDs by OCTET index?

Hello,
 
I created a MIB table with OID 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 1, 8072, 2, 2, 1,100 and an OCTET_STR index netsnmp_table_set_add_indexes(table_set, ASN_OCTET_STR, 0);
 
When I want to add a new row with column 2 I have to do something like:
snmpset  localhost  .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.2.1.100.1.2.\"AB\" s "hello world"
so it is the OID + TabelEntry + Column2 + str Index ... okay ... but it provides:
 
NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.2.2.1.100.1.2.2.65.66 = STRING: "hello world"
65 and 66 are the ascii codes for A and B. Exact what I want and what I expected. 
Obviously the 2 is the "length" of the str Index.
 
Is this a must? Or is it possible to create a str indexed row without the "length" oid?
