[amibroker] Locating Industry Ticker Symbol with AmiBroker 5.0 and Telechart Data

["david.weilmuenster" <dweilmuenster95125@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The AmiBroker interface to TeleChart does a good job of importing 
TeleChart's Industry info, including mapping stocks to Industries, but
I'm running into one problem.

With IndustryID(), it's easy to get the consecutive Industry number 
or Industry Name (not Symbol) for a Stock.

But how does one retrieve the Industry Ticker Symbol?

It doesn't seem to be any variant of IndustryID().

The code below returns the correct answer in industry_sym, but it 
seems like far too much churning for a simple lookup.  

Is there a built-in function that I'm missing?


Thanks,
David

industry_symlist =	
CategoryGetSymbols(categoryGroup,
                   CategoryFind("Industry Group Average",
                                categoryGroup
                               )
                  );

stock_industryid = IndustryID(0);
stop_loop = False;

for( i = 0; 
    (NOT stop_loop) AND 
    ( sym = StrExtract( industry_symlist, i ) ) != ""; i++ 
   ) 
   { 
       SetForeign(sym);
  	  if(stock_industryid	==	IndustryID(0))	
             {industry_sym	=	sym;
              stop_loop		=	True;
             }
        RestorePriceArrays();
   }
