Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I cannot seem to find a function that gives me the relevant option contracts for a specific future only.

for example if I want to find the March 2013 option for crude oil, I am currently sending:

SFS,CLH13\r\n

However, this does not only return CLH13 options, but also QCLH13 options:

CLH13C9850 CRUDE OIL MARCH 2013 CALL 9850
CLH13C9900 CRUDE OIL MARCH 2013 CALL 9900
CLH13C9950 CRUDE OIL MARCH 2013 CALL 9950
QCLH13C10000 CRUDE OIL MARCH 2013 CALL 10000
QCLH13C10050 CRUDE OIL MARCH 2013 CALL 10050
QCLH13C10100 CRUDE OIL MARCH 2013 CALL 10100

Is there a way that I can restrict it to options that start with CLH13 only?
Alternatively, is there an easy command that only returns the option chain for CLH13 only?

Thanks!

Hello, we do provide chain lookups via the feed but I am not able to find a registered 3rd party developer account for you based on your forum information. If you are a registered 3rd party developer, please send me your productID via Private Message or email developer support and I will be happy to help you with the proper requests to get the data you need from the feed.
