- Method Detail
  - getBERLength
```
int getBERLength()
```
    Returns the length of this BERSerializable object in bytes when encoded according to the Basic Encoding Rules (BER).
    
    Returns:
    
    the BER encoded length of this variable.
  - getBERPayloadLength
```
int getBERPayloadLength()
```
    Returns the length of the payload of this BERSerializable object in bytes when encoded according to the Basic Encoding Rules (BER).
    
    Returns:
    
    the BER encoded length of this variable.
  - decodeBER
```
void decodeBER(BERInputStream inputStream)
        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Decodes a Variable from an InputStream.
    
    Parameters:
    
    inputStream - an InputStream containing a BER encoded byte stream.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if the stream could not be decoded by using BER rules.
  - encodeBER
```
void encodeBER(java.io.OutputStream outputStream)
        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Encodes a Variable to an OutputStream.
    
    Parameters:
    
    outputStream - an OutputStream.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if an error occurs while writing to the stream.
