Opaque types

Hi all,

Please excuse me for my bad english, I hope you'll understand my problem.

I've set an Opaque type (float) in my MIB. In my subagent C file, I wrote :

static float myFloat;
 ...
int SnmpEagleSubagent::handleInstance(...)
{
    switch (reqinfo->mode)
    {
        case MODE_GET:
                 snmp_set_var_typed_value(
                           requests->requestvb,
                           ASN_OPAQUE_FLOAT,
                           (u_char *) &(myFloat),
                           sizeof(myFloat));
        break;
        ...
        case MODE_SET_ACTION:
              myFloat = atof(netsnmp_strdup_and_null(requests->requestvb->
val.string, requests->requestvb->val_len));
        break;
        ...
     }
}
...

Then I have a problem as I try to set a value with snmpset :

$ snmpset -v 1 -c private localhost myFloat.0 s 2.5
myFloat.0: Bad variable type (Type of attribute is Opaque, not OCTET STRING)

$ snmpset -v 1 -c private localhost myFloat.0 p 2.5
myFloat.0: Bad object type: p

In the snmpset man page, there isn't type value for Opaque....
Is it impossible to set an Opaque value with snmpset?
Is there other solution?

Thank you for your help,

Violette
