The project I am working on decodes data using XER. The format of the decoded xml output is <tagName>value</tagName>. I am wondering if there is some way for me to get the tag number as part of the xml output, something like <tagName tagNum=x>value</tagName> would be ideal. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
If this is not possible, are there any methods I can call to retrieve a tag number given a tag name?
No, it isn't. There are no tag numbers in XER. I guess there could have been, if someone had seen the need, but the standard doesn't call for such things.
I myself can't quite understand the point of including tag numbers. They are certainly no more unique than the tag name. There are, however, ways of obtaining the tag number, not within the encoded XER itself as you prefer, but at runtime from the decoder. This is specific to OSS' software, so if you wish to discuss this, I'd ask you to contact me directly.
