Re: [amibroker] Why Can't I Retrieve SIC number?

[Edward Pottasch]

hi,

SIC returns a string, QRS an array:

tst1 = GetExtraData("QRS"); 
tst2 = GetExtraData("SIC"); 
WriteVal(tst1); 
"" + tst2;

  I'm sure there's something incredibly simple (and obvious to someone 
  else) I'm doing wrong here. My Explore command: AddColumn(GetExtraData
  ("SIC"),"SIC"); results in "Error 5, argument #1 has incorrect type
  (the function expects a different argument here)"

  OK, so I change "SIC" to "QRS" and it works fine.

  So why can't I retrieve SIC numbers? I use QP with QP Plugin 1.6.0

  TIA for any help.
