EDGARFetchFileNumberInfo Function

Overview

The EDGARFetchFileNumberInfo function queries the EDGAR Archive by file number and reads the header to retrieve company information.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string[] = EDGARFetchFileNumberInfo ( string file_nunber );

Parameters

file_number

A string containing an SEC file number.

Return Value

A string array containing company information. On error, the list will be empty. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error details. If the file number does not exist, ERROR_REMOTE (0x88000000) with ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2) will be returned.

Remarks

This function “scrapes” the SEC’s public side EDGAR Archive and returns a listing of matching files for a specific file number.

The key names are as follows:

	Name			Description
	General Information
		CompanyName		Company name.
		CIK		Company CIK (matches requested value but will be zero filled).
		FileNumber		Primary File Number. Note that some entities may have multiple file numbers.
		SIC		Standing Industrial Classification Code.
		MailingAddress		A combined address in the form of 2 lines and a third address line containing city, state, zip or foreign postal information. The lines are separated by a CR (0x0D) character. There is no fixed format.
		BusinessAddress		A combined address in the form of 2 lines and a third address line containing city, state, zip or foreign postal information. The lines are separated by a CR (0x0D) character. There is no fixed format.
		PhoneNumber		Phone number.
		SOI		State of Incorporation. Unlike other EDGAR values, this is spelled out and not a code.
		FYE		Fiscal Year End.

 

Note that the information reported by the EDGAR Archive may not match the information returned by the EDGAR Company Database using the EDGARLookupCIK function.
