DCS handling

Sending or Storing SM

When sending or storing SM in TEXT mode, only the specified <dcs>s in Table 3-46, +CSMP command definitions, will be supported. Handling will be as shown in Table 3-72.

Table 3-72shows the conversion between the <dcs> and +CSCS setting when storing SM to memory or sending SM.

Table 3-72: <dcs> field and +CSCS settings conversion when writing SM

CASE	<dcs> field	User-Data-Hea	Current TE	Action
			character set
		der
			(+CSCS)
A	Default alphabet	Not Set	UTF8 or UCS2	Returns an error
				since conversion
				from these
				character sets to
				default alphabet
				is impossible.
			GSM	G24-L converts
				each two IRA
				characters long
				hexadecimal
				number to 7-bit
				septet.
			ASCII or 8859	G24-L converts
				each character to
				7-bit septet.
B	Default alphabet	Set	All	G24-L converts
				each two IRA
				characters long
				hexadecimal
				number to one
				8-bit octet.
C	8-bit or UCS2	All	All	G24-L converts
				each two IRA
				characters long
				hexadecimal
				number to one
				8-bit octet.

Note: If SMS, requested to be read in TEXT mode, is a GSM ’7’ bit Default alphabetical encoded and contains undefined extended characters in User Data (e.g. hex base 1B07), then two septets will be converted, as two separate characters accordingly, to currently selected (+CSCS setting) character set.

Reading SM

Any <dcs> value is accepted when receiving an SM.

When reading a SM with unsupported <dcs> the message header will be passed as usual. The DATA will be output in "HEX" format.
