D&B Dun's Electronic Business Directory (File 515) Enhanced and Updated

D&B Dun's Electronic Business Directory (File 515), designed for searchers who wish to locate companies by geographic location or SIC code but who do not need financial information, has been enhanced with new fields. All of the records in File 515 now have a corresponding record in D&B Dun's Market Identifiers, eliminating the need to check if a company record is also available in File 516.

Enhancements

• The Employees Here (EH=) field has been added, containing the actual or estimated number of employees.
• Description of Business has been added to the Basic Index and is searchable with the /DE suffix.

Features

• MAP DN allows quick and easy migration of search results to the more complete File 516.
• Six D&B preformatted reports are available using the Dialog REPORT command:
• Business Information Report, BIR
• Supplier Evaluation Report, SER
• Payment Analysis Report, PAR
• Comprehensive Report, CR
• Credit Scoring Report, CSR
• Business Background Report, BBR

File 515 is updated monthly and reloaded annually. A newly revised File 515 Bluesheet is available through the Dialog Web site at http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets.
