The encoding rules are applied to *ALL* SNMP requests,
when preparing them for putting onto the wire,
or parsing an incoming packet.
  It doesn't matter whether these are GET, GETNEXT, SET requests,
traps, informs, or some new as-yet-undefined SNMP request packet.
The encoding rules are applied consistently to *all* requests.

Sorry - I don't understand what you are asking.

Forget about 64-bit  - it's simply not relevant here.
BITS objects are *strings* - so work with char[] values
i.e. one or more 8-bit quantities.

I would suggest that you start with a simpler MIB object definition,
with just two or three named bits,  and get that working properly first.
Then look at extending this by adding more named bits - first to
complete the full eight-bit char value, and then a couple more to
take it into the second octet, and only then move on to your full
19-bit version
