How do I encode a message?

To encode a message, you need to fill a compiler-generated variable or structure that has a #defined PDU macro constant with your message. Next, you have to initialize an instance of the OssBuf type to serve as the output buffer for the encoder. Lastly, you pass the filled instance of the unencoded PDU structure along with its #defined PDU macro constant and the initialized OssBuf output variable to the ossEncode() function. This function will then fill the output buffer with a stream of bits representing the encoding corresponding to the message you sent.

The samples included with some of the Knowledge Center answers are meant for your general understanding of the OSS products. Different versions of the products might produce slightly different outputs. Consult the products documentation and samples for the most up-to-date products information and code examples.
