Open Type Decoding
An ASN.1-encoded message may contain fields that contain
"open type" data. These are fields whose type
is typically determined by the value of another field
at run-time. ASN1VE will try to find the ASN.1 type definition
from the assigned ASN.1 file for each open type field.
If successful, ASN1VE will decode the open type field
using the appropriate ASN.1 type definition.
If ASN1VE is not able to determine the ASN.1 type, then
it will give options to the user to select the type definition.
The failed to decode open type node will be displayed
with a warning icon. The user can right click on this
node and select the Decode As option.
This will display the ASN.1 type selection box for this
open type data. On selection of ASN.1 type definition,
ASN1VE will decode this open type data with the selected
type definition.
Note: The
right click menu option, "Decode As" will be
available for failed to decode open type node only.
Refer to the configuration option to disable this automatic
open type decoding operation.
