EDGARArchiveGetDocName Function

Overview

The EDGARArchiveGetDocName function retrieves the document name as filed or created by the EDGAR system.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = EDGARArchiveGetDocName ( handle hArchive, int index );

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 filename. If an error occurs, the returned string will be empty. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error details.

Remarks

The EDGAR XML specification sets a limit of 32 characters for this field. For older archives (1999 and earlier), this function may return an empty string since documents were not named prior to the Modernized EDGAR System.

The name (filename) will always have a limited set of extensions. See section 5.1.1 File Naming Standards of the the SEC EDGAR Filer Manual.
