Folks,
In the specifications I am working with there are many
values which are INTEGERS or OCTET STRINGS having their
own structure. Is there a way to encode or decode these
values in ASN.1? I just want to have the ASN.1 code be
more expressive.
An example with ANSI TCAP:
exampleOperation OPERATION ::= {
ARGUMENT ExampleArg
RESULT ExampleRes
ERRORS {exampleError}
CODE private:2320 -- Private TCAP 16
}
>From ANSI T1.114:
"The Operation Code is partitioned into an Operation
Family followed by a Specifier associated with each
Operation Family member. The lengths of the
Operation Family field and Specifier field are one
octet each."
So in the example above I really want to say the code
is 16 (with an Operation Family of "Private TCAP" which
is 9).
