Description  V1.00/30 Aug 2002  Get and set the external scaling factor for the MT services. PATCH: A positive external scaling factor f(ex,MT|TT)=number will be interpreted as external scaling factor. A negative external scaling factor f(ex,MT|TT)= -number will be interpreted as a tax point value (TPV) of type MT|TT and f(ex,MT|TT)=1 is set and used internally and given back as value. If no external scaling factor is defined, the normal procedure is applied with a default TPV=1. REASON FOR THE PATCH: Since the tax point value (TPV) can not be set with the current interface methods and the publication date of the official TPV table is unclear at the moment, the meaning of the external factors is patched!! The patch therefore allows for a self declaration system of TPVs.
