34<p>The statement is used to associate attributes with TTCN-3 language elements. The syntax for the argument of the statement (i.e. the actual attributes) is defined as a free text string.
35<p>There are four kinds of attributes:
36<ul>
37 <li><b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">display</font></b>: allows the specification of display attributes related to specific presentation formats;&nbsp;</li>
38 <li><b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">encode</font></b>: allows references to specific encoding rules;&nbsp;</li>
39 <li><b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">variant</font></b>: allows references to specific encoding variants;&nbsp;</li>
40 <li><b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">extension</font></b>: allows the specification of user-defined attributes.</li>
41</ul>

65<ul>
66 <li>
67 <p>the optional <b><font face="Courier New">override</font></b> directive forces all contained types at all lower scopes to be forced to the specified attribute.</p>
68 </li>
69 <li>
70 <p>the optional <i>qualifier</i> points out the entity for which the argument is valid.</p>
71 </li>
72 <li>
73 <p><i>argument</i> is a free-text string specifying the actual attribute.</p>
74 </li>
75</ul>
76<p>It is possible to specify several arguments in one <b><font face="Courier New">with</font></b> statement by using semicolons to separate the groups of the attribute keyword, qualifier and
77argument.&nbsp;<br>
78When an attribute has more than one arguments, the arguments are separated by commas.</p>

82&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bitstring fram,<br>
83&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bitstring till<br>
84} with { variant (fram) &quot;FIELDLENGTH(2)&quot; }</font>
85<p>The first field of the record (fram) will be coded on 2 bits.</p>
86<hr align="left" width="25%">
87<p>Example 2:
88<p><font face="Courier New">type octetstring OCT10 with { variant &quot;ALIGN(left)&quot;; variant &quot;FIELDLENGTH(10)&quot; }</font>
89<p>The octetstring OCT10 will be coded left-aligned on ten bits.</p>

91<p>Example 3:
92<p><font face="Courier New">type integer NewInt with { variant &quot;FIELDLENGTH(8), BITORDERINFIELD(msb)&quot; }</font>
93<p>The type NewInt will be coded on eight bit and the most significant bit will be sent first.</p>
