findscu time range not working

Providing the following query to the pacsone server:

findscu.exe -S -X -k 0008,0052=STUDY -k 0008,0020=20090114- -k 0008,0061=CT -k 0008,1030="CHEST" -k 0008,0030=080000-
-aet "bsevener" -aec "pacsone" [IP_address_here] 7777

the pacs does not use the time range parameter due to the dash after the 080000 value. The date range does however work by giving the dash (-) after the date.

So if I have a study matching all the other parameters (CHEST, CT, etc..) and the study time is at 7am, the pacs will ignore the time value due to the dash after the '080000' value and just give all studies for that DATE.

If i were to not supply the dash after the time value, it DOES recognize the specific time value and will only return studies matching that specific date/time... (not very helpful for queries).

Does anybody know what could be causing this? is there some other syntax for time ranges?

This is confirmed to be a bug in PacsOne Server where it was ignoring the '-' in the Study Time range specification, and was using the exact matching method if the '-' range character is missing.

Thanks very much for reporting this bug and we'll fix it for the next release of PacsOne Server.
