what would be the best way to do scans for dividend payout ratios & coverage ratios? 
Payout ratio:  div per share / eps
Coverage ratio:  dividend per share x #shares (float) / net income (net cashflow).  

Morningstar data for SF seems to only offer Div Yield or Div Growth rate.  There is a CA Div per share, but when I click on that condition, the panel is blank.  I'm on a Platinum Suite subscription.   Seems that if that CA data would load, it would be possible to make Combo Conditions.

I was looking at TradeStation RadarScreen, which includes a PayoutRatio in its list of fundamental indicators.  http://www.tradestation.com/popups/strategy_testing/radar_indicators/default.htm trying to replicate these scans in StockFinder, which can graph fundamental....seems like it would be an advantage of SF over TS to be able to see trends in these fundamentals.   I had posed this question in the StockFinder 4 forum, never got a response.

The CA fields are for Canadian symbols only. We should be adding Dividend Payout and Coverage Ratio Indicators to StockFinder relatively soon (the plan is to add them within the next few days).

These fundamentals were never added to either StockFinder or TC2000.
