The master record contains the last 4 dividend actions.
All you have to do is read the master record for each symbol and dump the dividend records.
This code is from the main.cpp example
void PrintDividends( char *sym )
{
int erc , j ;
usr_master_def master;
memset( &master, 0, sizeof( usr_master_def ) );
erc = R2_Open_Files( MASTER_FILE , dirbuff );//open the master file
if ( erc != 0 )//if this is true then there was an error
{
printf( "Error code %d received on open master file\n" , erc );
return;
}
//read the master and put the output into the master struct
erc = R2_QP_ReadMaster( QP_EQUAL , QP_SYMBOL, sym, &master );
if ( erc == 0 )//Zero on the previous call means it was successful
{
printf( "\nDividends for %s \n" , sym );
for ( j=0 ; j<4 ; j++ )
{
printf( "Payable date %02d/%02d/%04d Amount %10.4f Type %c%c\n" ,
master.divs[j].Pay_date.month ,
master.divs[j].Pay_date.day ,
master.divs[j].Pay_date.year ,
master.divs[j].rate ,
master.divs[j].flag[0] ,
master.divs[j].flag[1] );
}
}
R2_Close_Files( MASTER_FILE );//close the master file
}
You would have to expand the date print code for each date:
Ex_date; Ex distribution date
Rec_date; Record date
Pay_date; Payable date
Ann_date; Announcement date
