This data item stores company address information. This structure differs from Example 1 Export file and import file in that an OCCURS DEPENDING phrase has been added to the structure. Instead of having separate data-names for Address-1 and Address-2, a variable-length array named Address-Line has been defined. Since Address-Line is variable length, it must be the last data item in the structure. A new data item named Address-Lines has been added just prior to the Address-Line array. Address-Lines is the depending variable for the array Address-Line.
The first field of the structure is a time stamp containing the time that the program was executed. This item is included to assure the person observing the execution of the example that the results are current. The time element in the generated XML document should change each time the example is run and should contain the current time.
