Hi..

I want to decode/encode a binary files which are contain fix length and variable length record.

Below is my file format. 
Ericsson AIN records are stored in an input file in 2048 byte blocks. 
+Every block is made of variable length records padded to make a 2048 
+byte blocks. 

Every record is made of a fixed 180 byte part. Records may contain add
+itional tagged fields making the total length variable.

I am not sure either the file format belongs to ASN.1 or not and might be somebody could guide me.

Could somebody guide me where i can get the sample program or any manual guide on reading binary file with variable length or ASN.r file format.

Thank you, Baharin
