Goal

The user needs to process a request from Network Service Control Point (SCP). This request contains the same AVP (attribute/value pairs) multiple times.
How to read the data from all occurrences one by one?

Detailed explanation : The requirement is the user has a grouped AVP (name : MULTIPLE_SERVICES_CREDIT_CONTROL) which is expected multiple times in the request which comes to AAA. At a high level, the business case is about data rating where in a single request to AAA, the user expects an MSCC (MULTIPLE_SERVICES_CREDIT_CONTROL) for normal browsing session and another MSCC for video downloading, and both need to be charged separately.

Expectation : The user needs to parse and read both occurrences of MULTIPLE_SERVICES_CREDIT_CONTROL in the iscPoluplateOpcode file.

Below, an example of CC_SERVICE_SPECIFIC_UNITS is shown :

Currently, the user is using the following code for reading value of CC_SERVICE_SPECIFIC_UNITS:

Actual Result:
This gives the value of only the second occurrence, and first string remains blank.

How to achieve the expected results?
