[comp.protocols.iso.dev-environ] behaviour of str2aei

	Hi everybody!


	I have a question for anyone who has written interactive distributed
applications. I have just finished my first application on ISODE. When I
tried it out I got the message "mult: multstore: unknown application entity".
This message cames from the ryinitiator's sentence:

	if ((aei = str2aei (arg[1], myservice)) == NULLAEI) ...

That condition results to be true. This means that the routine isn't able to
make the application entity information from the arguments.

	The value of "myservice" when the condition is examined results the 
expected: "multstore". "argv[1]" is the name of the local host.

	I think the entries in databases are right as well:

	* In isobjects
		"local mult pci"	1.17.2.1.1
		"local mult"		1.17.2.1.2

	* In isoentities
		default  "multstore"	1.17.4.1.1	#1024/

	* In isoservices
		"tsap/multstore"	#1024	ros.mult

The databases are in /usr/etc as expected. I have tried to change the name
of the service and the selector, but the error keeps there.

	Has anyone a sugestion about why str2aei returns NULLAEI ?

	Thanks in advance,

				Javier.
