index shown as dot separated ascii values

hi again
 
I have a table that is is indexed by integer & string:
 
netsnmp_table_helper_add_indexes(
table_info, // the table 
ASN_INTEGER, // ID 
ASN_OCTET_STR, // name 
0);

In my iterator handler I set both values:

vptr = put_index_data;
snmp_set_var_value(vptr, (u_char *)&id, sizeof(int) );
vptr = vptr->next_variable;
snmp_set_var_value(vptr, (u_char *)strStationName.c_str(),
strStationName.length() );

When I run snmpget MyMIB::MyVal.1, the indexes of the result items are
ID = 1, name = "Station1"
I get a correct result but the string Station1 is displayed as ascii
values separated by dot.

I get: MyMIB::MyValue.1.8.83.116.97.116.105.111.110.49  = Counter32: 40

I expect:  MyMIB::MyValue.1."Station1"  = Counter32: 40

Also running snmpget MyMIB::MyVal.\"Station1\" results in "No Such
Instance currently exists at this OID"

Am I missing something?

thanks

Rotem
