AdvFN element definitions forRCHGetElementNumber()

Reply Message #11604 of 15676

I had a question about how AdvFN elements were defined for the RCHGetElement()

function.

Basically, the element definition is just the parameters for the smfGetAdvFNElement()

function. For example:

5196;AdvFN-A;Annual Indicators -- Ending Date -- FY1;AdvFN-A;1;>INDICATORS;>year

end date; ; ;0;0;0;0

Those parameters:

Parameter #1 (i.e. "5196") is the element number the definition is to be assigned to

Parameter #2 (i.e. "AdvFN-A" or "AdvFN-Q") indiates whether an annual (i.e. "A")or quarterly (i.e. "Q") data item is to be retrieved.

Parameter #3 (i.e. "Annual Indicators -- Ending Date -- FY1") is just a descriptive

name of the data element. It can literally be anythingyouchoose.

Parameter #4 (i.e. "AdvFN-A") is just a repeat of parameter #2, but it will be

returned as the "web page" for the data element if that is requested.

Parameter #5 (i.e. "1") indicates which period is to be retrieved.

Parameters #6 and #7 are the search strings to be used with the

smfGetAdvFNElement() function.

Parameters #8 and #9 are both set to blanks, but are just placeholders to be

consistent with other element definitions

Parameters #10 thru #13 are all set to "0", but are also just placeholders to be

consistent with other element definitions

So, the above element definition is really just causing this function invocation:

=smfGetAdvFNElement(tickersymbol,"A",1,">INDICATORS",">year end date")

...for whatever ticker symbol was passed to the RCHGetElementNumber() function.
