I've not seen this on any other thread but I have a query.

We have been sending validity periods of a mixed nature eg 02D20H30M and have recently noticed that only the first set is used.

Having looked up the documentation I can see it states use ##D OR ##H etc., but as I'm coding up a fix I wondered why we can't set say 2 hours 30 minutes? Using the relative time format I'd have thought that would be OK, so is there a way?

Also is it correct to say that I can set up to 99 units for each?

Thanks,

Rik

Hi Rik,

It is confusing, but the reason for this is because we abstract the validity period for other SMSC interfaces.

This abstraction only understand ##D, ##H or ##M ... not a combination.
