End
The End attribute specifies the end index of the response buffer for the response selection
criteria. There is no default value for this attribute. This attribute is optional. This attribute is
mandatory if the Start attribute is defined.
For example:
SDL file:
End="2"
Generated services.xml file:
<parameter name="Response0_EndIndex">2</parameter>
BufVal
The BufVal attribute specifies the response buffer value that must be checked between the
start index and the end index for the response selection criteria (Response[Start:End-1]).
There is no default value for this attribute. This attribute is optional. It is mandatory if the Start
and End attributes are defined.
For example:
SDL file:
BufVal="12"
Generated services.xml file:
<parameter name="Response0_BufferValue">12</parameter>

The ConversionOp attribute specifies the conversion operation for the response selection
criteria. Based on the value of this attribute, the response buffer value is converted to the string
or decimal data type and compared with the value of the BufVal parameter. Table 5 lists the
