-- The protocol data unit (PDU) is the
-- message that is transmitted between receptionists and
-- collectionservers (colservers?).
--
-- Comments in ASN.1 start with two dashes and continue to the end
-- of a line (or to the next two dashes, whichever is first).
-- 
-- Z39.50 has inspired much of this but I have tried to keep
-- it simple. Its hard to tell if I have succeeded ;-)


GSDL-APDU DEFINITIONS ::=
BEGIN


-- PDU is the basic message type. Note: in ASN.1 the
-- field name comes first and the field type second (opposite
-- to C). Ignore the numbers in the square brackets (e.g. [0]),
-- they're just tags to disambiguate certain circumstances and to
-- make the protocol easier to extend. The keyword 'IMPLICIT' just
-- makes the tags a little more efficient.
--
-- A SEQUENCE is a list of fields where the order is important

PDU ::= SEQUENCE {
  header  StandardHeader,
  message Message
}


-- ????? Is there anything else we want in the header ?????
--
-- Anonymous transactions should leave out the idAuthentication field

  idAuthentication      [1] IMPLICIT IdAuthentication OPTIONAL
}

IdAuthentication ::= SEQUENCE {
  userId   GeneralString,
