String
MMS String
UTF-8 encoded string up to 255 characters in length.
Date
Binary Time
6 byte structure containing days since Jan 1, 1984 and milliseconds since midnight. It uses the format "MM/DD/YYYY_HH:MM:SS.mmm".
Date
UTC Time
8 byte structure containing seconds of the century, a fraction of a second, and a time quality. It uses the format "MM/DD/YYYY_HH:MM:SS.mmm".
 
*MMS supports bit strings up to 256 bits in length. Bit strings less than 32 bits long can be assigned to unsigned integers, whereas larger bit strings can only be applied to strings. They will be assigned to unsigned integers with the first bit in the bit string corresponding to the integer's lowest order bit.
