Hej everybody,

I don't see any use of group fields.
As I read, a group ist just a sequence with the length of 1. only difference seems that in some applications the length-field is processed. is this correct?

Is there a difference between the following?
group name="x" presence="optional"
uInt32 name="z"

sequence name="x"
length name="y" presence="optional" const value=1
uInt32 name="z"

Bye, Martin

now as i am writing, i can imagine, that the output could be:
z=... vs. y=1, z=...
