[Tugindia] \@namedef

[Manoj Kummini]

Hello.

I have a piece the following piece of code in a file

\def\address#1#2{%
\global\@namedef{addridx@#1}{\theaddrcount}%
\global\@namedef{addr at ss\romannumeral\theaddrcount}{#2}%
\stepcounter{addrcount}}
...
\address{foo1}{1, Foo Bar, Fubar}
...
When I try printing \addridx at foo1 in the text, I get the error that
\addridx at foo is not defined. I changed the code to

\address{foo}{1, Foo Bar, Fubar}

and was able to print \addridx at foo. Can someone explain this?

Manoj.
