apologies to all.
1. Yes adv does exist. It's created with this code:

DIMENSION aDV[nFieldCount]

1a. nFieldCount is equal to the number of fields to be imported as Numberic, in this case, there are 48 fields to import

2. dimensions of adv is the field count number on that particular line that is being imported.

3. nfield value is 48(numeric)
