while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
Contact c = (Contact)enum.nextElement();
int[] fieldIds = c.getFields();
int id;
for(int index = 0; index < fieldIds.length; ++index) {
id = fieldIds[index];
if(c.getPIMList().getFieldDataType(id) == Contact.STRING) {
for(int j=0; j < c.countValues(id); ++j) {
String value = c.getString(id, j);
System.out.println(c.getPIMList().getFieldLabel(id) + "=" +
value);
}
