public BOFRecord() 
{

}

Constructs an empty BOFRecord with no fields set.

 public BOFRecord(short id,
    short size,
    byte[] data) 
{
        super(id, size, data);
        // fillFields(data,size);
}

Constructs a BOFRecord and sets its fields appropriately

Parameters:

short - id must be 0x809 or an exception will be throw upon validation

short - size the size of the data area of the record

byte - [] data of the record (should not contain sid/len)

 public BOFRecord(short id,
    short size,
    byte[] data,
    int offset)

}

Constructs a BOFRecord and sets its fields appropriately

Parameters:

short - id must be 0x809 or an exception will be throw upon validation

short - size the size of the data area of the record

byte - [] data of the record (should not contain sid/len)

offset - the offset of the record's data
