The output file temp.bufr will be significantly different from the input message seed.bufr because it will have a data structure defined by the sequence 309052. The values in the new data structure will be all missing and the structure will be ready to accept values from the user.

The key unexpandeDescriptors unexpandedDescriptors can be set to an array of integers representing a sequence of BUFR descriptors. If we need to set a sequence which is a variation from a standard sequence or is not included in the table of official WMO sequences, we can explicitly set unexpandedDescriptors with the full sequence. As an example a sequence for aircraft reports including the seconds and pressure as non-coordinate parameter can be obtained by slightly modifying the sequence 311001–> 301051, 007002, 012001, 011001, 011002, 011031, 011032, 011033, 020041 and introducing the elements 004006 (second) and 10004 (pressure non-coordinate) in the sequence of descriptors.
