SET OF and SEQUENCE OF types

The SET OF and SEQUENCE OF types represent one or more instances of a SET or a SEQUENCE. For a description of the differences among constructed types, see Table 1.

An application program can send a SET OF or SEQUENCE OF value to CMIP services in the following form:


                   .-,--------------------.        
                   V                      |        
>>-+-------+--+-(----+------------------+-+--)-+---------------><
   '-label-'  |      '-+-------+--value-'      |   
              |        '-label-'               |   
              |              (1)               |   
              '-<--hex value------>------------'

Notes:

When specifying a value in this format, the application program is required to specify the entire contents of the SET OF or SEQUENCE OF, including the tags and lengths of the members, but not the tag and length of the SET OF or SEQUENCE OF itself.

There is no limitation (other than subtyping specified in the ASN.1) as to the number of members that can be specified in the SET OF or SEQUENCE OF. It is valid to specify a SET OF or SEQUENCE OF with no members, so long as subtype constraints are obeyed.
