HI, I am currently trying to include some optional parameters for an account with Open Market. Their integration guide states this parameters must use "short" as the type but NowSMS documentation only mentions; "string", "cstring" or "integer" as valid types. Can I substitute the "short" type for any of the above, or can I use "short" even though it's not mentioned... thanks | |||

Hi Ricardo, "short" is not a defined type in the SMPP specification. So it depends what they mean by "short". I would guess that it is an integer in 1 or 2 bytes. You can specify the length as a parameter in the SMPP option to force it to a particular size, like this: optionname=value,Integer,2 Another alternative is using the newer HexString type. This is useful for when you have to supply some bitmap values. With this setting, you supply a hex string, and we encode it in the TLV parameter value bytes. If you need more assistance, please give me some details on the parameter definition. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
