Read tool lengths, tool length components

GETTCOR function
The GETTCOR function is used to read out tool lengths or tool length components.
The parameters can be used to specify, which components are considered, and the
conditions, under which the tool is used.
The GETTCOR function is a predefined subprogram.
It must, therefore, be programmed in a separate block.
