Chapter 1 Introduction
What is Standard & Poors COMPUSTAT data?

Standard & Poors Institutional Market Services, a division of The McGrawHill Companies, is the premier supplier of financial information and produces a variety of databases and software products for institutional investors, and financial and corporate clients. Standard & Poors COMPUSTAT is a database of financial, statistical, and market information. It provides more than 340 annual and 120 quarterly Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Flow of Funds, and supplemental data items on more than 10,000 active and 9,700 inactive companies. With COMPUSTAT, you can customize the data output for virtually any financial application. COMPUSTAT data is unique in that it is standardized by financial statement and by specific item definition. Standardizing the data ensures that comparability exists among similar types of data items as well as financial results in current and prior time frames. Several COMPUSTAT files are available in both annual and quarterly formats. The population between annual and quarterly files may not be the same. In most instances this is because an initial public offering may report quarterly data prior to annual data being available. The industrial annual formats offer both historical and restated data. The industrial quarterly formats offer restated data as reported by the company. The restated data allows analysts to compare current and prior years results on a comparable basis and determine financial trends and growth rates. For most companies, annual and quarterly data is available for a maximum of 20 years and 48 quarters.

Chapter 2 About the COMPUSTAT IBM 360/370 General File Format
File Format Description

COMPUSTAT files are available in the IBM General file format. Most data is carried in IBM single-precision floating point binary notation. These files are designed to be read by the higher-level programming languages supported by IBM. The files use IBM standard block and record descriptor words.
Not Meaningful
If data is not meaningful, that element of the data array contains a .0007 code. For example, a .0007 appearing in Book Value per Share indicates data has not been calculated since divisor is 0 (zero). If data is available only on a semi-annual basis, the first and third quarters of the year contain .0002 codes. The code indicates that data in the second and fourth quarters represents semi-annual figures rather than quarterly figures. (This code is used only on the Industrial Quarterly File and not on the PDE files.) If data is available only on an annual basis, the first, second, and third quarters of the year contain .0003 codes. The code indicates that data in the fourth quarter represents an annual figure rather than quarterly figures. (This code is used only on the Industrial Quarterly File and not on the PDE files.)
Semi-Annual Figure
Arrays
Data arrays are organized with the oldest information in the first part of the array and the most recent information in the last part of the array. The logic for the annual and quarterly data arrays is item by year or quarter with item varying the most rapidly. For example, the 176th element in the annual data array of (175, 20) is Data Item #1 of the second oldest year. Annual Figure
Data Codes
Standard & Poors provides specific codes for data items that are not available, combined with other data items, considered insignificant by the company, or available only on a semi-annual or annual basis. Programmers must make provisions to recognize these codes so that they are not interpreted as figures. Not Available Figure If data is not available, that element of the data array contains a .0001 code. If data has been combined into another data item, that element of the array contains a .0004 code. (This code is not used on the Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE) files.) If data has been reported by the company as insignificant, that element of the data array contains a .0008 code. (This code is not used on the PDE files.)
Data Units
Most data items are represented in units of $ millions. Data is rounded to the nearest thousand. Earnings per share items are presented in actual dollars and cents. See Chapter 11, Reference, of this document for more specific information.
Combined Figure
Insignificant Figure
Default Data
Header and Trailer Records may contain Default Data. For Floating Point fields, the default is 0 or NA for data slots. For Character fields, the default is Character Blanks or zeros. For Integer fields, the default is zero.
COMPUSTAT
2/2000
Sorting Order
Companies are sorted numerically in ascending order by Industry Classification Code, CUSIP Issuer Code, and CUSIP Issue Number and Check Digit. Within each Industry Classification Code, companies are arranged by CUSIP and Record Number.
Trailer Records
One or more trailer records may appear at the end of the file. The annual files will have one trailer record which appears at the end of each file (before the end-of-file mark). The Quarterly files will have three (3) trailer records which appear at the end of each file (before the end-of-file mark). These trailer records are identified by zeros in the 13-character key (DNUM + CNUM + CIC). The data array for these trailer records contains default data. In some cases, it may be necessary to check for these records to avoid using them in the program.

Industrial Files
Several COMPUSTAT files are available in both annual and quarterly formats. The industrial annual formats offer both historical and restated data. The industrial quarterly formats offer restated data as reported by the company. The restated data allows analysts to compare current and prior years results on a comparable basis and determine financial trends and growth rates. For most companies, annual and quarterly data is available for a maximum of 20 years and 48 quarters. The industrial files include the following: Active Files The Primary, Supplementary, Tertiary File contains the largest companies on the New York and American Stock Exchanges, including all companies comprising the S&P Industrial Index, and companies listed on major exchanges. The Full Coverage File contains NASDAQ National Market System companies, companies listed on regional exchanges, publicly held companies trading common stock, and wholly owned subsidiaries trading preferred stock or debt. The Canadian File contains more than 900 major Canadian industrial companies that report in Canadian currency. The Industrial Research File contains companies that have been deleted from the Primary, Supplementary, Tertiary, and Full Coverage files due to bankruptcy, acquisition or merger, leveraged buyout, or because they became private companies. Industrial files are also available for back periods. Annual back data is displayed from 1950 up to the current 20 year period. Quarterly back data is displayed from 1962 up to the current 48 quarter period.
Record Control Information

Annual
The IBM 360/370 General file format requires two records per company to present 350 data items for 20 years. Record 1 contains Data Items #1 through #175 for each of 20 years. Record 2 contains Data Items #176 through #350 for each of 20 years. Each record contains 15,804 bytes of data. Eight bytes of block and record control information precede the data. Four bytes comprising the record descriptor word precede each record. Four bytes comprising the block descriptor word precede each block. The total block size is 15,812 bytes and the logical record length is 15,808 bytes. The DCB may be written as: DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=15808,BLKSIZE=15812),LABEL=(,NL)
Quarterly
The IBM 360/370 General file format requires 12 records per company to present 232 data items for 48 quarters. Each record contains Data Items #1 through #232 for each of four quarters. Records are blocked in groups of three. Each record contains 4,820 bytes of data. Four bytes comprising the record descriptor word precede each record. Four bytes comprising the block descriptor word precede each block. The logical record length is 4,824 bytes and the total block size is 14,476 bytes. The DCB may be written as: DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=4824,BLKSIZE=14476),LABEL=(,NL)

Back Data Files
Header Record
The header record format is identical to that of the company records. It is always the first record on the file and is identified by zeros in the CNUM field. This information is provided in the DATA field of the header record. Header records may contain default data. Quarterly header records have header record information in the first record only. The remaining two records will have default data.

COMPUSTAT Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE) Files

The COMPUSTAT U.S. Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE) File is a companion to the industrial files and contains market information on all active COMPUSTAT industrial companies and approximately 540 industry indexes and composites. U.S. PDE is also available for Research companies. The COMPUSTAT Canadian Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE) File contains market information on more that 900 major Canadian industrial companies and approximately 15 Canadian industry indexes and composites that report in Canadian currency. The IBM 360/370 General file is arranged so that each physical record contains all data for one calendar year with year 1962 as the earliest possible record for U.S. companies and 1982 for Canadian companies. There may be a variable number of records available for each industry and company depending upon the number of calendar years of data available.
Canadian
Each record contains 1,648 bytes of data. Eight bytes of block and record control information precede the data. The first four bytes are the standard IBM block descriptor word. The second four bytes are the standard IBM record descriptor word. This is a fixed, blocked file with a blocking factor of six (6). The total block size is 9,916 bytes and the logical record length is 1,652 bytes. The DCB may be written as: DCB=(RECFM=U,LRECL=1652,BLKSIZE=9916),LABEL=(,NL)
Header Record
The header record format is identical to that of the company records. It is always the first record on the file and is identified by zeros in the CNUM field. This information is provided in the DATA field of the header record. A record descriptor is available for all header records. The first record contains the header record information. Additional records are default data filled.

Chapter 5 About the COMPUSTAT Character ASCII File Formats
File Description
COMPUSTAT files are available in the Character ASCII file format.
Combined Figure
Arrays
Data arrays are organized with the oldest information in the first part of the array and the most recent information in the last part of the array. The logic for the annual and quarterly data arrays is item by year or quarter with item varying the most rapidly. For example, the 176th element in the annual data array of (175, 20) is Data Item #1 of the second oldest year.
If data has been combined into another data item, that element of the array contains a left-adjusted minus sign, a 4 in the third position to the right of the implied decimal point, and zeros in the remainder of the field. For example, items with a field precision of 10.3 contain -000000004 codes. (This code is not used on the Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE) files.) If data has been reported by the company as insignificant, that element of the data array contains a left-adjusted minus sign, an 8 in the third position to the right of the implied decimal point, and zeros in the remainder of the field. For example, items with a field precision of 10.3 contain -000000008 codes. (This code is not used on the PDE files.) If data is available only on a semi-annual basis, the first and third quarters of the year contain a left-adjusted minus sign, a 2 in the third position to the right of the implied decimal point, and zeros in the remainder of the field. For example, items with a field precision of 10.3 contain -000000002 codes. The code indicates that data in the second and fourth quarters represents semiannual figures rather than quarterly figures. (This code is used only on the Industrial Quarterly File, and not on the Business Information or PDE files.)
Insignificant Figure
Data Codes
Standard & Poors provides specific codes for data items that are not available, combined with other data items, considered insignificant by the company, or available only on a semi-annual or annual basis. Programmers must make provisions to recognize these codes so that they are not used as figures. Not Available Figure If data is not available, that element of the data array contains a left-adjusted minus sign, a 1 in the third position to the right of the implied decimal point, and zeros in the remainder of the field. For example, items with a field precision of 10.3 contain -000000001 codes. If data is not meaningful, that element of the data array contains a left-adjusted minus sign, a 7 in the third position to the right of the implied decimal point, and zeros in the remainder of the field. For example, items with a field precision of 10.3 contain -000000007 codes.
Semi-Annual Figure
Not Meaningful
COMPUSTAT
2/2000
Annual Figure
If data is available only on an annual basis, the first, second, and third quarters of the year contain a left-adjusted minus sign, a 3 in the third position to the right of the implied decimal point, and zeros in the remainder of the field. For example, items with a field precision of 10.3 contain -000000003 codes. The code indicates that data in the fourth quarter represents an annual figure rather than a quarterly figure. (This code is used only on the Industrial Quarterly File, and not on the Business Information or PDE files.)
Trailer Records
One or more trailer records may appear at the end of the file. The annual files will have one trailer record that appears at the end of each file. The Quarterly files will have three (3) trailer records which appear at the end of each file. These trailer records are identified by zeros in the 13-character key (DNUM + CNUM + CIC). The data array for these trailer records contains default data values. In some cases, it may be necessary to check for these records to avoid using them in the program.
Default Data
Data Fields
All fields designated to contain numeric data are zero-filled and contain no blanks. There are no decimals physically present in the data fields. All decimals are implied by the designated field specification. For example, a 7.3 field containing Earnings per Share data might look like 0001250. In this case, earnings would be interpreted as $1.25.
Data Units
Most data items are represented in units of $ millions. Data is rounded to the nearest thousand. Earnings per share items are presented in actual dollars and cents. See Chapter 11, Reference, of this document for more specific information.
Negative Numbers
Negative values are preceded by a left-adjusted minus sign in the data field.
Sorting Order
Companies are sorted numerically in ascending order by Industry Classification Code, CUSIP Issuer Code, and CUSIP Issue Number and Check Digit. Within each Industry Classification Code, companies are arranged by CUSIP and Record Number. The sorting order for the Reference File of SIC Codes is ascending by SIC Code.

Industrial Files
Several COMPUSTAT files are available in both annual and quarterly formats. The industrial annual formats offer both historical and restated data. The industrial quarterly formats offer restated data as reported by the company. The restated data allows analysts to compare current and prior years results on a comparable basis and determine financial trends and growth rates. For most companies, annual and quarterly data is available for a maximum of 20 years and 48 quarters. The industrial files include the following: Active Files The Primary, Supplementary, Tertiary File contains the largest companies on the New York and American Stock Exchanges, including all companies comprising the S&P Industrial Index, and companies listed on major exchanges. The Full Coverage File contains NASDAQ National Market System companies, companies listed on regional exchanges, publicly held companies trading common stock, and wholly owned subsidiaries trading preferred stock or debt. The Canadian File contains more than 900 major Canadian industrial companies that report in Canadian currency. The Industrial Research File contains companies that have been deleted from the Primary, Supplementary, Tertiary, Over-theCounter, and Full Coverage files due to bankruptcy, acquisition or merger, leveraged buyout, or because they became private companies. Industrial files are also available for back periods. Annual back data is displayed from 1950 up to the current 20 year period. Quarterly back data is displayed from 1962 up to the current 48 quarter period.

The Character ASCII format requires eight records per company to present 350 data items for 20 years. Data Item Numbers 1 - 175 1 - 175 1 - 175 1 - 175 176 - 350 176 - 350 176 - 350 176 - 350

There is no special block or record control words. Each physical and logical record is 8,332 characters. The DCB may be written: DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=8332,BLKSIZE=8332),LABEL=(,NL)
Research Files
Quarterly
The Character ASCII format requires 12 records per company to present 232 data items for 48 quarters. Each record contains data items #1 through #232 for each of four quarters. There are three records per block. There is no special block or record control words. Each physical and logical record is 9,184 characters. The DCB may be written: DCB=(RECFM=F,BLRECL=9184, BLKSIZE=27552), LABEL=(,NL)

Header Record
The header record format is identical to that of the company records. It is always the first record on the file and is identified by zeros in the CNUM field. This information is provided in the DATA field of the header record. Header records may contain default data. Quarterly header records have header record information in the first record only. The remaining two records will have default data.
Record Format
The next pages provide the technical specifications for header records and the complete industrial record formats for the Annual and Quarterly files.
Default Data
Header and Trailer Records may contain Default Data. For Floating Point fields, the default is 0 or NA for data slots. For Character fields, the default is Character Blanks or zeros. For Integer fields, the default is 0.

SFAS 131 Overview

On June 30, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the pronouncement for the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131). The statement establishes the standards for the way companies will report information related to operating segments in their annual and interim financial reports and supersedes SFAS 14, the basis for the COMPUSTAT Business Information Files. Due to the changes required under SFAS 131 for the reporting of business segments, a revised Business Information File has been created to allow for the collection of data reported under the new standard. SFAS 131 has elected to make the new reporting more relevant than consistent or reliable. It specifically states that both relevance and comparability will not be achievable in all cases, and audit systems should be the overriding concern. Because FASB has determined that internal performance and audit systems will be the source for the new segment data, this data will not need to reconcile to the consolidated statements.
File Format
The Revised COMPUSTAT Business Information file is only available in ASCII format. The file will be produced in a fixed length, delimited format. To allow for flexible processing of each file, each line of the file will represent one record. Within a record, fields will be fixed length and will be delimited with a vertical-bar character (|). Each record will be terminated with a carriagereturn (CR). All numeric fields not defined as integer will contain the decimal point (.).
Header Record
Each file will contain a header record of same size and layout as the data records, and will contain a record identifier database cutoff date and creation date. The header record will always be the first record in the file.
Segment Classifications
The following classifications contain the Segment Ids, Segment Names, Descriptions and other information specific to each segment. Segment Company Segment Source Segment Detail Segment Products Segment Customers Segment Item Value Segment NAICS Segment Geographic Area Codes Segment Currency Rate
Revised COMPUSTAT Business Information File

The concepts of industry and geographic segments have been replaced by operating segments as defined by the companys management. These can be defined by product, service, market, geography, and subsidiaries. There is no limit on the number of operating segments a company may report for any given year or quarter. The revised COMPUSTAT Business Information File will also provide Historical, as well as Restated data.
File Structure
Segment files will contain a variable number of records per company. The files will be formatted to present seven years of information per company, when available. Records for a year will only be presented if data is available; therefore, there may be gaps in years for any given company.
COMPUSTAT

The Record lengths for each segment file are: Segment Company Segment Source Segment Detail Segment Customers Segment Products Segment Item Value Segment NAICS Segment Geo Area Codes Segment Currency Rate 370 bytes 79 bytes 2322 bytes 155 bytes 694 bytes 843 bytes 55 bytes 47 bytes 85 bytes

There is no special block or record control words. The logical record length is 80 characters, and the total block size is 7,200 characters. Records are blocked in groups of 90. The DCB may be written as: DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=7200),LABEL=(,NL)
Record Format
The next page provides the technical specifications for the complete record format for the Reference File of SIC Codes.
Header Record
The header record format is identical to that of the company records. It is always the first record on the file and is identified by zeros in the CNUM field. Header records may contain default data.
Reference File of SIC Codes

The Reference File of SIC Codes is an auxiliary file designed for use in conjunction with the revised COMPUSTAT Business Information file. This file is only available in ASCII format. This file provides a source for the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) names that correspond to the SIC variables included on the COMPUSTAT Business Information NAICS. The source of this information is the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual produced by the Executive Office of the President Office of Management and Budget. In addition, there are pseudo-SIC classifications that were developed by Standard & Poors to define industries for which SIC had no classification, such as 5412 Convenience Stores. Changes to the SIC codes and names are made infrequently. Therefore, this file is only updated when revisions are needed. We anticipate that these updates will be necessary less than once each year.

Reference File of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes

The Reference File of NAICS Codes is only available in ASCII format. This file provides a source for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) numerical codes and a textual description of each code. In 1997, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) adopted the North American Industry Classification System to provide new comparability in statistics about business activity across North America. It is intended to become a replacement for the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. Changes to the NAICS codes and names are anticipated to be made on a five (5) year cycle. Therefore, this file is only updated when revisions are needed.

There are no special blocks or record control words. The logical record length is 110 characters. There is one record per block. Each record contains a carriage return/line feed in the last field position. The DCB may be written as: DCS=(RECFM=F,LRECL=110,BLKSIZE=110), LABEL=(,NL)

COMPUSTAT Business Information Segment Company File

The COMPUSTAT Business Information Segment Company file is a subset of the COMPUSTAT Business Information file. This file contains a record for each company that has segment data within the recent data years. The Segment Company File is also available for back periods. Back data is displayed for the years prior to the current sevenyear period if a company had segment data within the previous 13 years.

In order to allow for the flexible processing of each file, each line of the file will represent one record. Within a line, fields will be a fixed length and will be delimited with a vertical-bar character (|). Each line of the file will be terminated with a carriage-return character (CR). All numeric fields not defined as integer will include a decimal point.
Header Record
The header record will always be the first record in the file. It is the same size and layout as the data record and will contain a record identifier, database cutoff date and creation date.

COMPUSTAT Business Information Segment Source File

The COMPUSTAT Business Information Segment Source file is a subset of the COMPUSTAT Business Information file. This file will include information relative to the source used for collection. Historically, there will only be one Segment Source file record per Segment Detail record. This file contains up to seven years of information for each company. As each new year is added to the file to accommodate newly reporting fiscal years, the earliest year is deleted. The Segment Source File is also available for back periods. Back data is displayed for the years prior to the current sevenyear period if a company had segment data within the previous 13 years. There may be a variable number of years of information for each company depending on the amount of information which is available to Standard & Poors.

COMPUSTAT Transaction Files

COMPUSTAT Transaction files provide records for companies added, deleted, or updated since the last COMPUSTAT production. Standard & Poors provides complete 20-year or 48-quarter formats for companies adding or changing information on COMPUSTAT files. Complete record formats are also available for companies that have been deleted from COMPUSTAT, but these records will contain Not Available data codes. A COMPUSTAT U.S. Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE) transaction file is also available.
File Organization
Transaction files available: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Primary, Supplementary, Tertiary Annual File Primary, Supplementary, Tertiary Quarterly File Full-Coverage Industrial Annual File Full-Coverage Industrial Quarterly File U.S. Prices, Dividends, and Earnings (PDE)

General Information About COMPUSTAT Transaction Files

File Availability
Standard & Poors produces transaction files weekly and at month-end for weekly subscribers. You must load transaction files weekly to keep files properly updated. Files for the complete company population are provided under the following conditions: Standard & Poors adds new prices Quarterly files for the complete population are produced at month-end when current prices are loaded for each company. Standard & Poors produces annual files for the complete company population at year-end when annual prices are loaded. Standard & Poors produces quarterly files for the complete population when new quarters are added. Standard & Poors produces annual files for the complete company population when a new year is added. It is sometimes impractical to place all transactions on a particular file when a large volume of updates has occurred. In these instances, Standard & Poors produces complete company population files for selected files instead of placing them on a transaction file. Under certain circumstances, users may request a complete company population file update in place of a transaction file.
Trailer Records
One or more trailer records may appear at the end of the file. The annual files will have one trailer record which appears at the end of each file. The Quarterly files will have three (3) trailer records which appear at the end of each file. These trailer records are identified by zeros in the 13-character key (DNUM + CNUM + CIC). The data array for these trailer records contains default data values. In some cases, it may be necessary to check for these records to avoid using them in the program.
Header Record
The header record for each file is in that files format. It is always the first record on the file and is identified by zeros in the CNUM field. This information is provided in the DATA field of the header record for that specific file. Record descriptor is available for all six header records (PDE).
Record Format
Transaction file records are identical in format to records on complete company population files. Standard & Poors provides a complete 20-year or 48-quarter format for each company on the transaction file.
Standard & Poors adds a new period

Business Descriptions File

This file contains textual descriptions of COMPUSTAT companies compiled by Standard & Poors analysts. Each record contains 3 fields: Permanent Number, Delimiter, and Business Descriptions. There are approximately 15,000 Business Descriptions, and one record per company. The Permanent Number is a 6-digit, positive, right-aligned, and zero-padded number between 000000 and 999999. This file should be read as a binary file. If the text does not occupy the entire field, the remainder of the field is padded with trailing NULL characters (ASCII code 0). If the field is empty, the entire field will consist of NULL characters. Sentences within the text are separated by a space character (ASCII code decimal 32). Paragraphs within the text are separated by a linefeed character (ASCII code decimal 10). Note that linefeed is used as a separator, not a terminator (there is no linefeed after the paragraph). The delimiter is a space character (ASCII code decimal 32). This file is available via file transfer protocol (FTP) delivery.
Trends & Projections

This is a monthly publication which addresses current economic issues and forecasts economic trends. This file is available via electronic frame relay and diskette, and is currently only available in a PDF format. Adobe Acrobat must be used to load this file. A sample Trends & Projections publication is located at the end of this chapter. This file is available via file transfer protocol (FTP) delivery.
Index Fundamentals File

The file contains annual and quarterly fundamental data for the following indexes: S&P 1500 S&P 500 S&P 600 S&P 400 July 1996 forward 1990 forward July 1996 forward July 1996 forward
Economic & Industry Sector File

The data in this file enables you to use current industry and economic sectors in your stock performance analysis to compare a company to its peers. This is a comma separated ASCII file that contains Company Permanent Number, Economic Sector Code, and Industry Sector Code. The sector codes are positive integers that will not exceed 9999. This file is available via file transfer protocol (FTP) delivery.
Data is presented in millions of dollars. The data facilitates benchmarking and portfolio rebalancing. This file is available via file transfer protocol (FTP) delivery.
File Structure
Value/Growth File
This file indicates whether a company is a value or growth stock, based on the companys price-to-book ratio compared to the median price-to-book ratio for its industry sector. The median is calculated using all active U.S. companies in the COMPUSTAT database. If the companys ratio is greater than or equal to the industry median, it is classified as a growth stock. If the companys ratio is less than the industry median, it is classified as a value stock. This is a comma delimited ASCII file. This file is available via file transfer protocol (FTP) delivery. Code 0 1 Description Value Growth
The Annual file will contain a variable number of records per Index (depending on the number of years available) with a maximum of 20 years. Data will be available beginning in 1990. The data in the Annual file will be stored as historical (the population and data for that year will not change except for updates) as of December 31st for each year. The current year in process will contain data for the population of the indices for that weeks production. The Quarterly file will begin with fourth quarter 1997 and continue to grow. The data in the Quarterly file will be stored as historical as of each calendar quarter. The data in the Quarterly file represents the value of the index as of the quarter end, using the most current data available for the companies in that index at the time. The quarter in process will contain data for the population of
COMPUSTAT

the indices for that weeks production. Income statement and Cash Flow items will be the latest 12MM value.
File Format
The file is only available in ASCII format. The file will be produced in a fixed length, delimited format. The delimiter of choice will be a vertical-bar character (|). All decimal items in the file will contain the decimal point (.). Items that are not available will be presented as 0.001 in the Annual and Quarterly files.

In this chapter
The following is a list of the data items on the COMPUSTAT Industrial database as they appear on COMPUSTAT files for individual company records. This list includes units of representation for each data item, as well as its precision on the Character ASCII files. The last column shows the first year or quarter of availability for each data item. Time period for data availability for a company is dependent upon when that company was added to the database and/or when the data item was first added to the database. The Annual file provides the most current 20 years of data. The Quarterly file provides the most current 48 quarters and the Business Information files provide the most current 7 years of data. The first year of availability for restated items is not presented as restatements are variable and affect back years on file. Character ASCII precision excludes decimals in the data fields. All decimals in Character ASCII precision are implied by the designated field specifications. (See the Data Definitions chapter of the Users Guide for an explanation of each data item. The definitions are organized alphabetically by data item name.) Units Key: M MM MM$ $& NA R Thousands Millions Millions of Dollars Dollars and cents Not Available Restated
