When variables are sent, all [CTRL][V] (formatted) variables must be
sent first followed by [CTRL][W] (unformatted) variables.
Note:
^W means the same as [CTRL][W].
Example:
If a message has variables positioned as follows:
[CTRL][V] [CTRL][W] [CTRL][V] [CTRL][W] [CTRL][V]
First
Position
Second
Position
Third
Position
Fourth
Position
Fifth
Position
and [CTRL][W] variables are ASCII, they would be sent in the
following order:
^V 1st position
^V 3rd position
^V 5th position
^W 2nd position ^W 4th position
MSB LSB
WORD n
WORD n +1
WORD n +2

If [CTRL][W] variables are BCD variables, word n+3 would look
like:
