Author	Topic: Level I News (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
jdstocks03 -Interested User- Posts: 6 Joined: Aug 17, 2004	Posted: Feb 3, 2010 09:55 PM Msg. 1 of 2 I'm confused about how to receive streaming news via TCP/IP. My app currently processes streaming Level I data received over port 5009. If I want streaming news as well, do I simply send the S,NEWSON command over the same port, or do I need a second winsock object for port 60018. Per the S,IP message I receive, the news server uses port 60018. My platform is Microsoft Access, and I have a Market Scan form with an ActiveX winsock control on it. I use that control to receive streaming Level I data over port 5009. As messages are received, I pump them through my VBA message processor. My goal is to get streaming news coming in as well, and pump that through the same message processor. Obviously if I get a "N" message, I'd handle it differently than the "Q" messages I currently process. Can I do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. John.

When you turn on news via the S,NEWSON command, you will start receiving news headlines in the streaming feed. Each news headline contains a id that you can then use to request the full story from the lookup port (9100).
