Determinig syntax of a column from a Request.

[Frank Fock]

Hi Gopi,

The request variable bindings of GET, GETNEXT, GETBULK
requests do not have a value part (only an OID part).
Thus, it is quite normal that Request::get_syntax
returns sNMP_SYNTAX_NULL.

Best regards,
Frank

For this I am calling Request::get_syntax(sub_request_id). The problem is that this method always returns sNMP_SYNTAX_NULL as the syntax. I am using Agent++ 3.56.
