Hi Mark, as far as I know SMS is a requirement for extended-format data sets.
If you were able to create a non-SMS extended format, it would indeed be news to me. Can you show me how you created them and the catalog entries that reflect that EA/EF status. Thanks! Ernesto E.

Both are usable and the catalog entries for both reflect their EA/EF status. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email.
