Hi,
First - yes there's a typo.
In X.213 "The abstract syntax for the IDI is decimal digits."
in ISUP it's "BCD" + code11,code12 and the "number field" is coded with
8 - 1
2:nd 1:st
in Q.931 i beleve it's ASCII
- so yes, a E.164 number is coded differently in different protocols.
Best regards
Anders

Speaking of the E.164 country codes, are they BCD, or decimal?
The list in packet-isup.c doesn't appear to have any hex values with
digits A-F, and the entry for the UK is 0x44, so it looks as if they're
BCD - but the entry for the Democratic Republic of Congo is 243, not
0x243. As it's between the 0x0242 entry for the Republic of Congo and
the 0x0244 entry for Angola, that's *probably* a typo.
Are there some protocols where it's represented in decimal and others
where it's represented in BCD?
