Hi,
    I wanted to define a class with variable type fields (both Value and ValueSet) with DEFAULT values. I have some queries on the same. Pls observe the following ASN.1 spec snippet

TID ::= CLASS
{
    &Type   DEFAULT INTEGER,
    &id     OBJECT IDENTIFIER UNIQUE
}
 
PARAMS ::= CLASS
{
    &type   TID,
    &var1   &type.&Type DEFAULT INTEGER:0,    -- Value in OpenType notation
    &Var2   &type.&Type DEFAULT {0|1|2|3|4},  -- Value/ValueSet in its pure form
}

 
    According to clause 9.8.b of X.681-0207, which say "if the "ValueOptionalitySpec" is "DEFAULT Value", then the type field denoted by the "FieldName" shall have a "TypeOptionalitySpec" of "DEFAULT Type", and "Value" shall be a value of that type.".
 
    I request for clarification as to whether the value following the DEFAULT keyword in the Variable Type field must be an OpenType Value (since a variable type field becomes an opentype), or must be just a Value of the Type specified following the DEFAULT keyword of the type field denoted by the FieldName (TID.&Type in the above case). I infered that it must be the Value in its pure form since there would be no notation to represent a ValueSet in the OpenType notation. Kindly confirm in this regard. Thanking you.
 
Yours Sincerely
