doing investigation on ASN.1 compiler on Erlang. I’m very new to ASN.1,

<br>
We found you can avoid some of the problems by using earlier TCAP
specifications, which are fully compatible (I think), but simpler.<br>
<br>
Just as a matter of interest, is this a commercial or university project you
are working on? Are you building your own tools?<br>

font-family:"Courier New"'>Hi All,<br>
<br>
I'm finding difficult in absorbing "How to use ASN.1 TCAPMessage to
transport GSM MAP". The problem is how to generate TCAP Begin, Continue,
End, etc messages.<br>
<br>
I read about the ASN.1 Parameterized Type, but still I could find the match of
ASN.1 specs for MAP and TCAP. I thought below might be the way, but still that
gives some compilation errors.<br>
<br>
mapSpecificAS ABSTRACT-SYNTAX ::= {<br>
MapSpecificPDUs<br>
IDENTIFIED BY gsm-MessagingId<br>
}<br>
<br>
MapSpecificPDUs ::=<br>
TCMessage{{ MAPOperations-Invokable}, { MAPOperations-Returnable}}<br>
<br>
<br>
MAPOperations-Invokable OPERATION ::= <br>
{sendRoutingInfoForSM | mo-ForwardSM |
mt-ForwardSM} <br>
MAPOperations-Returnable OPERATION ::= <br>
{reportSM-DeliveryStatus | alertServiceCentre |
informServiceCentre | readyForSM}<br>
<br>
The error is as below (Erlang ASN.1 compiler),<br>
{error,{asn1,[{error,{type,57,<br>
'TCAPMessages',<br>
'MapSpecificPDUs',<br>
{asn1,{duplicates_of_the_tags,<br>
[{'UNIVERSAL','INTEGER'}]}}}}]}}<br>
<br>
For your information, I have attached TCAPMessages.asn and
MAP-ShortMessageServiceOperations.asn.<br>
<br>
I appreciate if anybody out there can give me some clue to solve this problem.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
Eranga<br>
