Description

E.g. for Unlimited Text (UT) the value 0xffffffff is not correct since it is reserved (for undefined length) and it is odd:

   { EVR_UT, "UT", sizeof(char), DCMVR_PROP_ISASTRING|DCMVR_PROP_EXTENDEDLENGTHENCODING, 0, DCM_UndefinedLength },

The correct "maxValueLength" would be 0xfffffffe (even value). See Table 6.2-1 in Part 5.

Maybe, there should also be a new DCMVR_PROP_xxx flag specifying whether the given min/max values are in bytes or in characters!?
