Summary | 0005794: STF409 comment on [Part 1: TTCN-3 Core Language]: missing definition of OctetString elements
Description | Looking through different parts of the standard, as well as the provided examples, it becomes clear that a single element of an octet string is an octet, i.e. a pair of two hex characters (or half-octets). However this is nowhere properly defined; it would be useful to have this definition clearly stated in the 'Types and values' section.
