Salil,
1.
It is written [twice] in the description
SETFOREIGN
- replace current price arrays with those of foreign security
Referencing other symbol data
(AFL 2.5)
SYNTAX SetForeign( ticker, fixup = True, tradeprices = False )
RETURNS NUMBER
FUNCTION The SetForeign function replaces current price/volume
arrays with those of foreign security.
" replace current price arrays " and " replaces current price/volume
arrays "
No ref for ANY other ticker elements.
2.
At the end of the description,
Single SetForeign( "ticker" ) call is equivalent to the following
sequence:
C = Foreign( "ticker", "C" );
O = Foreign( "ticker", "O" );
H = Foreign( "ticker", "H" );
L = Foreign( "ticker", "L" );
V = Foreign( "ticker", "V" );
OI = Foreign( "ticker", "I" );
Avg = ( C + H + L )/3;
No ref again for ANYTHING else.
3.
Since it replaces the basic Foreign() function, see the respective
description
SYNTAX foreign( TICKER, DATAFIELD, fixup = 1)
DATAFIELD defines which array is referenced. Allowable data
fields: "open", "close", "high", "low", "volume", "interest".
Ticker Fullname is not included as "allowable data field" .
