#ExDate

General

I tried Showvar(@EX,#ExDate) in the screener, but I alwas get the result 1. I expected to se a date.

#PayDate gives result 2
#AnnDate result 0

The only place I know of to use #ExDate is in DivPSDays;

As far as I know, it doesn't give you the date. It is used as a identifier when you use a dividend function such as are you asking for the announce, pay or ex-div date.

So if you use DivPS you can specify you want the divps as of one of those dates. So it will know when that information is available to you. But this isn't a function for you to look up and determine an absolute date for each line item.

At least that is my understanding

Thanks, I understand. The Factor & Function Reference does not have a very clear description of the use #ExDate.
