why not simply have a "var template ..." that is assigned before and then use that variable instead of the template in the receive statement? Probably because it's separate TTCN-3 types (BSSAP vs. RANAP)? I think I read that there's some kind of "ANY" type (called anytype). but have never used it, and I don't know if you can have a "var template anytype". Maybe worth a try?
TTCN3_P.pdf contains a slide about it, important part seems to use the 'with extension anytype' part at the end of the module, listing the types.
I just gave it a very simple try, and at least "var template anytype foo" still compiles, as do statements like "foo.PDU_BSSAP := tr_BSSMAP_..." and "foo.RANAP_PDU := tr_RANAP_...".
So it should be possible to construct a receive-template variable this way. I haven't used it from an interleave PORT.receive() but don't see why it shouldn't work.
