Hello,
 
You are very close, the only thing you forgot is that name() 
returns string and string constants
in AFL must be enclosed in double quotes:
 
rightstock = name() == "SP-500";  // must put SP-500 in 
double quotation marks.
 
Best regards,

Subject: [amibroker] Stock specific 
scan
Is there a way to filter the stock ticker within 
AFL?I am trying to write one daily scan routine that incorporatesall 
my different scans.  Since some of the scans look at all the stocks 
in my database I don't want to filter any out using the "Apply to" 
selection.However, several of the scans only look at the 
S&P500 or NDX.  Is there a way to check the ticker name within 
AFL?  It seems like name() should do the trick, but I only get 
errors.  Here's what I'm using: 
rightstock=name()==SP-500;Thanks in 
advance,SchildrothYour
