Are you sure you are setting/canceling the alarm for the right application?
The cardNo & dbID returned by SysCurAppDatabase are from the last opened
resource database, which is not necessarily your app since you are
sublaunched (no globals) to receive the notification.
Store your dbID in a feature, then you do not have to call
SysCurAppDatabase.
