Like the program message, the response message format comprises a sequence of functional elements divided into the units of minimum level to express functions. The uppercase letters in angled brackets ( < and > ) in the figure above show examples of functional elements. The functional elements are further divided into elements called the coding elements. The lowercase letters in angled brackets ( < and > ) in the same figure above show examples of coding elements. Accord- ingly, the same syntactical notational convention is used for the talker and the listener.
