StoryNumbers - If there IS news on this company, the storynumbers column will be populated with the same number of items as the "headlines" column. The format of storynumbers is a list separated by the piping symbol ( | ). For example, if a quote for GE had the 2 headlines listed above, storynumbers would contain exactly 2 numbers corresponding to the headlines - as in "394300 | 349033". 394300 would match "GE Announces quarterly Earnings", and 349033 would match "Product liability lawsuit against GE quashed by appellate court". You can create a link to a newshandler that passes these numbers to the FinWin News application (or CF Tag) and retrieve the full text of the story - as well as related keywords, symbols and meta data about the company, story and source.
