How an application program sends a REAL value to CMIP services

An application program can send a REAL value to CMIP services in any of the following forms:


>>-+-------+----+-----+--mantissa--+----------------------+----><
   '-label-'    +- + -+            '-E--+-----+--exponent-'     
                '- - -'                 +- + -+                 
                                        '- - -'

The application program is required to use the hexadecimal BER format for specifying REAL values.

The following example shows how the ASN.1 syntax might define a REAL value.

X ::= REAL
 
Values for X would be:
      "3.14"
      "0.0"
      "-14.33e-05"
