Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: slm_event():   
The parameter lists for DATA_DIRECT and DATA_LINK are not in the same order (dataid, dataformatid and sequence counter) 


The argument list for DATA_DIRECT: 

• A Sequence of Octet containing the data values. 
• A string with the dataformatID 
• A string with the dataID 
• A long value with the sequence counter 


The argument list for DATA_LINK: 

• A string with the data ID. 
• A string with a sequence counter. 
• A string with the dataformatID. 
• An EDataLinkType defining the link type (Listing 25). 
• A string with the link value. 

Resolution: see above
Revised Text: On page 2-23 change the text 

DATA_LINK 
If the device provides huge volumes of data, it might be reasonable to only provide the controller with a link to the actual data. The controller can then decide whether to access that data or not. The link type is either a link to a file, to the SLM operation  get_result_data(), or a database. The link value contains the information needed to  retrieve the data from the link target. 
The argument list: 
o A string with the data ID. 
o A string with a sequence counter. 
o A string with the dataformatID. 
o An EDataLinkType defining the link type (Listing 25). 
o A string with the link value.

July 10, 2002: received issue

Discussion: 
Maintain the same (top-down) order in both cases (e.g., data ID, data format ID, sequence counter, data | link, etc)

I agree with Thorsten that we should maintain the same (top-down)
order in both cases (e.g., data ID, data format ID, sequence counter,
data | link, ...)
