Conrad,
thanks for your reply but I don't understand why this :

UDPTLPacket::=SEQUENCE
{
        seq-number      INTEGER(0..65535),
        primary-ifp-packet TYPE-IDENTIFIER.&Type (IFPPacket),
        .. -- other fields
}

is not the same as

UDPTLPacket::=SEQUENCE
{
        seq-number      INTEGER(0..65535),
        primary-ifp-packet IFPPacket,
        .. -- other fields
}

and why using the constrained object class field instead of the type itself?

thanks

augustin
