R[x]: REAL (+ digit for the decimal place)
I: INTEGER
S[x]: STRING (+ digit for string length)
C: CHARACTER (individual character)

Limit value MIN, limit value MAX
Default setting: Empty
The limit values are separated by a comma. Limits can be specified for types I, C and R
in decimal formats or as characters in the form "A", "F".
If no default setting has been configured and no system or user variable has been
assigned to the variable, the first element of the toggle field is assigned. If no toggle field
has been defined, there is no default setting, which means the status of the variable is
"not calculated".
Default setting: No default
List with predetermined entries in the IO field: The list is initiated by a *; the entries are
separated by a comma. The entries can be assigned a value.
For the toggle field, the entry for the limit is interpreted as a list. If only one * is entered,
a variable toggle field is created.
Default setting: None
The sequence is specified. Instead of a short text, an image can also be displayed.
