Hi Des,

Could you please advise, is there any way for concatenation of SMS's data field in live mode. Each segment generates one insert and update records (SMSSend and SMSOut) but some customers want to see SMS as one message in spite of multiple segments. It very hard to implement at DB layer and we haven't found solution yet. Your help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Alex K.

to in live mode. Do you know any good

Hi Alex,

I don't know of any good way to handle it.

The reality is that it has to go out over the air as more than one message. So it also costs more than one message ... even if they think of it as a single message.

If you wanted to combine them in your database, you could generate a pseudo ID based upon the parts.

SAR-zzzzzzzzzzzz-XXXXXX-##-##

For multiparts, the last "##" is the segment number ... the rest of the ID is the same between segments. Maybe you can work some logic based upon that.
