11.17 CM Type Definitions
11.17.1 Introduction CM parameters may be of any type that may be specified in TTCN. Simple CMs may contain no associated parameters or may contain just one parameter, e.g. a natural number, a preliminary result, or a character string like "suspend" or "continue". More complex CMs may carry additional information, e.g....

11.18 String length specifications
TTCN permits the specification of length restrictions on string types (i.e., BITSTRING, HEXSTRING, OCTETSTRING and all CharacterString types, plus the ASN.1 types BIT STRING and OCTET STRING) in the following instances: a) when declaring Test Suite Types as a type restriction; b) when declaring simple ASP parameters, P...

11.19 ASP, PDU and CM Definitions for SEND events
In ASPs and/or PDUs that are sent from the tester, values for ASP parameters and/or PDU fields that are defined in the Constraints Part (see clause 12, 13, 14) shall correspond to the parameter or field definition. This means: a) the value shall be of the type specified for that ASP parameter or PDU field; and b) each ...

11.20 ASP, PDU and CM Definitions for RECEIVE events
For ASPs and/or PDUs received by the tester the ASP and/or PDU Type defines the class of incoming ASPs and/or PDUs that can match an event specification of that type. An incoming ASP or PDU is considered to be of that class if and only if: a) the ASP parameter and/or PDU field values are of the type specified in the AS...

11.21.1 Introduction In order to enhance the readability of TTCN behaviour descriptions, an Alias may be used to facilitate the renaming of ASP and/or PDU identifiers in behaviour descriptions. This renaming may be done to highlight the exchange of PDUs embedded in ASPs. The following information shall be provided for ...

12.1 Introduction
An ATS shall specify the values of the ASP parameters and PDU fields that are to be sent or received by the test system. The constraints part fulfils that purpose in TTCN. The dynamic behaviour descriptions (see clause 15) shall reference constraints to construct outgoing ASPs and/or PDUs in SEND events; and to specify...

12.2 General principles
This subclause describes the general principles and defines the mechanisms of how to build constraints for SEND events and how to match RECEIVE events. These principles are common to both the tabular and ASN.1 forms of constraints. Constraints are detailed specifications of ASPs and/or PDUs. Normally, each constraint i...

12.3 Parameterization of constraints
Constraints may be parameterized. In such cases the constraint name shall be followed by a formal parameter list enclosed in parentheses. The formal parameters shall be used to specify ASP parameter or PDU field values in the constraint. A colon and the name of the parameter's type shall follow each formal parameter na...

12.4 Chaining of constraints
Constraints may be chained by referencing a constraint as the value of a parameter or field in another constraint. For example, the value of the Data parameter of an N-DATAreq (Network Data Request) ASP could be a reference to a T- CRPDU (Transport Connect Request PDU) PDU constraint, i.e., the T-CRPDU is chained to th...

Constraints that are referenced for SEND events shall not include wildcards (i.e., AnyValue ( ? ) or AnyOrOmit ( * )) unless these are explicitly assigned specific values on the SEND event line in the behaviour description. In tabular constraints, all ASP parameters and PDU fields are optional and therefore may be omit...

If a constraint is to be used to construct the values of ASP parameters or PDU fields that a received ASP or PDU shall match, it shall contain only specific values evaluated as explained in 12.6.3, or special matching mechanisms where it is not desirable, or possible, to specify specific values. The matching mechanisms...

This is the basic matching mechanism. Specific values in constraints are expressions. Unless otherwise specified, a constraint ASP parameter or PDU field matches the corresponding incoming ASP parameter or PDU field if, and only if, the incoming ASP parameter or PDU field has exactly the same value as the value to whic...
