Description
The parameter specifies the data type and format of the property value. The property values MUST be of a single value type. For example, a "RDATE" property cannot have a combination of DATE- TIME and TIME value types.
If the property's value is the default value type, then this parameter need not be specified. However, if the property's default value type is overridden by some other allowable value type, then this parameter MUST be specified.
