ASN.1 Compiler

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

People who are implementing protocols designed in ASN.1 often use an ASN.1 compiler, which translates a protocol specification from ASN.1 into source code in a programming language. For the C programming language, for example, the compiler would probably output a C header file (similar to a COBOL copyfile), for inclusion in a C program.
