OCTET STRINGs

The ``glue'' mapping generates statically sized arrays of bytes for OCTET STRINGs; in addition, SCADE will only generate C code for character arrays it knows the length of; therefore, open ended OCTET STRINGs, UTF8Strings, etc are unusable: The following ...

        description OCTET STRING

... would cause this error:

        string (in ...) must have a SIZE range set!

Something like this must be used instead:

        description OCTET STRING (SIZE(1..10))

This error can't be bypassed; it blocks the generation of code.

Also note that OCTET STRINGs are a "last resort"; the content inside them can be usually broken down in simple (base) ASN.1 types, and that is the prefered approach in ASN.1, not "black-box" types.
