NASDAQ Issue Number

NASDAQ Issue Number is a unique integer assigned by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) to each listed security on The NASDAQ Stock Market. It is this issue-specific identifier which differentiates securities issued by the same company. If the issue number is unknown, the NASDAQ Issue Number is set to zero. If an NYSE/AMEX security was ever traded on NASDAQ, this number is set to the last issue number assigned when it was trading on NASDAQ. The NASDAQ Issue Number in the CRSP Data File may change if NASDAQ assigns a new number to an issue CRSP considers to be a continuation of an existing issue.
