Real time compilation of dynamically generated variable data for use in structured data streams.

摘要

A method is disclosed for interpreting dynamically generated variable data for insertion within a structured data stream or for use in processing such a data stream. Structured data streams typically include a plurality of components, each component having multiple parameters therein. A trigger element, such as a flag within the data stream is utilized to provide an initial link or reference to one of a plurality of variable construct definitions which includes a reference to at least one other variable construct definition. The variable data dynamically generated by the referenced variable construct definitions is then utilized in combination for insertion into the data stream, or for use in processing a portion of the data stream. As a result of the utilization of variable construct definitions, the variable data may be easily modified by a receiver by the utilization of that definition. In this manner, complex variable data expressions may be dynamically compiled or generated by reference to a plurality of variable construct definitions from a non-variable construct within the data stream.
