Bob,
Thanks for your
response. If I understand correctly, that will do the relative strength
calculation using the contents of the field as the base ticker. I really
want the value “MG322” in the example and not the calculation so
that I can display the Hemscott group number in a textual output report.
I just do not see anyway to get the contents of the field. I thought
there may be a way to access the field through OLE but it is not clear just how
to accomplish this task.
Thanks again.

Relative Strength
Given a ticker symbol it is relatively easy to get the industry
group. How does one reference the value of the Base Indexes for
Relative Strength from AFL?
In other words, I want to find out which if any group a particular
ticker was assigned to by Worden for use in Relative Strength
calculations. I believe you have to add these by hand at least I did and
it was not obvious to me how to reference this field programmatically.
Thanks.
