Hi folks: I am calling to the OpenDBX library and this library uses C constants. Suppose something like this:

enum odbxerr {
�� ODBX_ERR_SUCCESS,
#define ODBX_ERR_SUCCESS�� ODBX_ERR_SUCCESS
�� ODBX_ERR_BACKEND,
#define ODBX_ERR_BACKEND�� ODBX_ERR_BACKEND
�� ODBX_ERR_NOCAP,
#define ODBX_ERR_NOCAP�� ODBX_ERR_NOCAP
�� ODBX_ERR_PARAM,
.........

Then I have a function like this:

char* odbx_error( odbx_t* handle, int error )

In that case the int error es the index of the array or I can use the constant.
Right now, I am using int from 0 to N. But I would like to invoke calls to that function using Smalltalk Strings that represent C constants.

For example, now I have this:

OpenDBXUnix>>apiError: handle number: err
�� "long odbx_error(odbx_t*, int)"
�� <cdecl: char* 'odbx_error' (ulong long) module: 'opendbx' >
�� ^self externalCallFailed��

And I call them this way for example:

OpenDBXUnix apiError:� handle number: 1.

But, I would love to do:

OpenDBXUnix apiError:� handle number: 'ODBX_ERR_BACKEND'.

Of course this fails because it cannot coerce and String to a long.

So, that someone know how can I do this (if I can) ?

Thanks

Mariano
