To view all calls and puts from a particular out-month, use the following syntax: To view all S & P calls for the September expiration, enter SPU5@C where SP is the symbol root, U specifies September, 5 specifies 1995, the @ specifies a list of all strikes, and C specifies calls. To accomplish this same purpose with a stock option requires a slightly different approach. To list all the IBM April calls, you would enter, IBM_D@C where the D specifies April expiration, the expansion macro lists all strikes, and C specifies calls. Although the syntax of stock symbols is different, the same principals apply. Substitute the expansion macro for the strike, or both the expiration and the strike.Listing Options for a Specific Expiration
