Example <!--- This example illustrates usage of StructKeyExists. --->
<P>This file is similar to addemployee.cfm, which is called
by StructNew, StructClear, and StructDelete. To test this file,
copy the <CFELSEif> statement to the appropriate place
in addemployee.cfm. It is an example of a custom tag used
to add employees. Employee information is passed through the
employee structure (the EMPINFO attribute). In UNIX, you must
also add the Emp_ID.
