Hi,

I am looking to get share price information off of datastream for companies listed on the ISE. What I am looking for is the dividend payment date, amount of dividends and the share price of a number of companies over a period of about 30days surrounding the dividend payment date. I heard this could be done easily and quickly using datastream however I do not know how to use it myself.

If anyone could assist me on this matter I would greatly appreciate it.

you can get all the prices and dividend information easily enough under historical prices
