[ASN1] INTEGER encoding in PER

[Bjoern Schneider]

Hi,
I'm curious about the following 'problem' (actually, I couldn't 
understand ITUs recommendation X.691 fully... o_O ):

SomeInt ::= INTEGER (0..65535)
a SomeInt ::= 10
b SomeInt ::= 32000
Now, when I encode these two variables into _byte-aligned_ PER: has 
there to be a length part everytime? i.e.:

  -- a:
    00000001 00001010
  -- b:
    00000010 01111101 00000000
Or will it encoded as 2-byte number? i.e.:
  -- a:
    00000000 00001010
  -- b:
    01111101 00000000
Although I'd rather like to use the last one, I think it has to be 
encoded like the first example, with lengths... or is it possible to 
force a 2-byte value explicitely? Maybe with the SIZE(2)-constraint, so 
that you can omit the length? As I tried something like this the last 
time, my compiler bailed out with a syntax error, and I think he's 
(unfortunately ;) ) right...

Thanks in advance,
  Bjoern Schneider
