Those old macros were updated way back in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and finally retired in
OpenSSL 1.1.0.

You need to write an appropriate ASN.1 module to encode and decode your
structure. There are many examples of this such as in crypto/cms/cms_asn1.c
and some much simpler ones in crypto/x509v3 which are perhaps better suited to
you needs.

They use macros which start with ASN1_SEQUENCE*

Is it possible to look at your old code? Then I could give some more specific
pointers.
