Parameters

hArchive

A handle that specifies the EDGAR Archive opened with EDGARArchiveOpen function.

index

An integer specifying a file entry in the mapped object.

Return Value

A string containing the description. If an error occurs, the returned string will be empty. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error details. Note that the document description is an optional field for filers and therefore can be empty without an error.
