<p>It is possible to have the following ASN.1 type definitions:</p>
<pre>

O2 ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(28)) </pre>
<p>With the following example assignments in Erlang:</p>
<pre>
-O1Val = [17,13,19,20,0,0,255,254],
-O2Val = "must be exactly 28 chars....", </pre>
- <p>Observe that <c>O1Val</c> is assigned a series of numbers between 0
- and 255 i.e. octets.
- <c>O2Val</c> is assigned using the string notation.
