The full name of the security can be retrieved in AFL using FullName() function.

In order to add such information to the built-in Price chart, we need to do the following:

1. Click on the chart with right mouse button
2. Choose Edit Formula from the context menu
3. Modify the Title definition line, the built-in code contains:_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%)",
                     O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) ))

   We need to change it into:

   _N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - " +
                      FullName() +
                      " - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} " +
                      "Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) Vol %.0f",
                      O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ), V ) )
4. To apply these changes choose Tools->Apply Indicator from the menu.

If we have Full name information imported into the database and visible in Symbol->Information window, the updated chart title will show it next to the ticker name.
