Why not do this instead?
[main]
exten => *94*,1,Goto(GetNumber,s,1)
[GetNumber]
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => _X.*,1,Set(NUMBER=${EXTEN:0:-1})
exten => _X.*,n,Goto(GetDDI,s,1)
[GetDDI]
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => _XX.,1,Set(DB(DDI/${NUMBER}=${EXTEN})

Not saying a strpos function wouldn't be a welcome change as well.
