Got to the help file and locate the function directory. Look up the function in question and write your own scan.

Here's an example:

OUTPUT = "Fundamentals.lst";
EXCHANGE = NASDAQ, NYSE;

print symbol:-8;
print ",";
print "$"
print close(0):6:2;
print ",";

// Fundamentals
print MarketCap:6:0;
print ",";
print Beta:6:2;
print ",";
print BookValue:6:2;
print ",";
print Operatingearnings:6:2;
print ",";
print PrtoSales:6:2;
print ",";
print Revspershare:6:2;
print ",";

Integer i;
for i=-7 to 0 step 1 do
print "$";
print QtrEPS(i):6:2;
print ",";
next i;

for i=-7 to 0 step 1 do
print "$";
print QtrRev(i):6:0;
print ",";
next i;

print PE:6:0;
print ",";
print EPS:6:2;
print ",";
print EPS1Growth:6:2;
print "%";
print ",";
print EPS3Growth:6:2;
print "%";
print ",";
print EPS5Growth:6:2;
print "%";
print ",";
print Rev1Growth:6:0;
print "%";
print ",";
print Rev3Growth:6:0;
print "%";
print ",";
print Rev5Growth:6:0;
print "%";

println;

The use of comma seperating the items allows you to create
a list file capable of being imported by Excel as a CSV delimited text file.

What I'd like to do is scan for high dividend yielders .. look for high yields and announcement dates and x-div dates.

You can use the Yield function to scan the database for high dividend yielders. The Yield function is not listed in the "Dictionary of Scan Function" however, you can get information on the Yield function by looking in the "Help Topics" index. There aren't any functions for reading the values of announcement and x-div dates stored in the database. My recommendation is use the Yield function to scan for high dividend yielders and then look up the announcement and x-div dates in the description and fundamental database for the stocks you are interested in. If you are a glutton for punishment and want to try to use Visual Basic to read and print the values of announcement and x-div dates I suggest you start here:
