changes, then the displayed text number $(85000 + <DB90.DBB5>) is
recalculated in response to every change.

Variable toggle field
It is possible to assign a variable toggle field to a dialog element, i.e., when the toggle key is
pressed, a value configured in a CHANGE method is assigned to the variable.
An asterisk * is entered in the Limits or Toggle Field property to identify a variable toggle field
when a variable is defined.
Example: DEF VAR1=(S/*)
