The ExtractScreenUniverse Factlet

The ExtractScreenUniverse factlet extracts a list of CUSIPs stored in a single FactSet screen. Using the FactSet workstation, you can screen for equity and fixed income securities based on specified criteria and store a list of companies by using a FactSet Universal Screening for equity or debt securities.

The ExtractScreenUniverse factlet uses the options listed in Table 43.14 to extract a list of CUSIPs that belong to a single user-defined screen. Use the SCREEN= option to specify a screen file, and use the NAME= option to specify whether or not you want the names of the corresponding security. Specify NAME=Y (yes) to view the security names for each CUSIP in the screen. NAME=N (no) is the default, which does not show security names with the CUSIP list.
