It's hard to know what might be going wrong here without knowing what
PREVAPP_RECORD_LOC and DB_PREVAPP_RECORD_SIZE might be. The way you feel
the need to cast PREVAPP_RECORD_LOC suggests that PREVAPP_RECORD_LOC
is not of the right type and your problems may be due to abuse of this
parameter to DmNewRecord. (But this doesn't explain why this works from
the hack code. But we don't really know what's going on...)
In general, I think one should always be suspicious of explicit casting.

This is not necessary. The prc-tools linker does indeed put the string
literal into the same code resource as the surrounding code. (If you
have a test case that does otherwise, please send it to me.)
