The Abstract Syntax provides information about the class type of the data that will be transferred across the DICOM Associate connection.

This function is valid only for DICOM Associate objects of type Associate Request.

To get the Abstract Syntax of a specific Presentation Context, call the L_DicomGetAbstract function.

To set the Abstract Syntax of a specific Presentation Context, call the L_DicomSetAbstract function.
