Yes, you raise the next question. I've been mulling over how to calculate average percentage change from the data (without doing it in me head), and I think you'd have to use another program such as Excel. Maybe we can suggest that average percentage change be included in the next version of QP2. It's pretty easy to calculate the percentage of stocks increasing in price, of course, but it would be nice to have it in the report. Even without these extra extrapolations, these extrapolative extras, the reports are useful for comparing lists, particularly when back-dated scans are used to see how a list of stocks has performed.

Release 2 has no capability to calculate statistics, Howard, because all variables are reinitialized for each symbol. In 'C' terms, all variables are auto rather than static [global]. Can import the scan results or price data to Excel and there is an API for querying the entire db from Borland or Visual C++. Bob

Here's an example of a QP2 report file imported into Excel so you can compute average percentage change. It's easy to import the report files, btw. 4/6/98 3/23/98 % +/- Price+/-Price Price Avg: 4.71 1.46 18.71 17.25 THNK 86.166 13.625 29.44 15.81 SIEB 52.254 19.562 57 37.44 DVNTF 51.02 1.562 4.62 3.06 SYNT 49.049 16.125 49 32.88 OBJS 43.836 1 3.28 2.28 PTVL 43.781 11 36.12 25.12 RNTK 33.824 0.719 2.84 2.12 ELNK 33.495 17.25 68.75 51.5 VIFL 31.25 1.25 5.25 4 AEOS 28.454 10.812 48.81 38 IGEN 28.042 9.938 45.38 35.44 AND 25.949 5.125 24.88 19.75 CYBX 25.13 6.062 30.19 24.12 BVSN 23.438 3.75 19.75 16 CBSL 22.973 7.438 39.81 32.38 SCTR 22.4 7 38.25 31.25 CMGI 21.94 11.875 66 54.12 XCIT 21.077 9.906 56.91 47 CHS 19.481 0.938 5.75 4.81 INFO 17.778 1 6.62 5.62 EQTXC 15.596 0.531 3.94 3.41 SPEK 15.517 0.281 2.09 1.81 WAST 14.706 0.312 2.44 2.12 TSCP 13.934 2.125 17.38 15.25 DYII 13.158 0.312 2.69 2.38 SPLN 12.882 3.688 32.31 28.62 AALA 12.5 0.188 1.69 1.5 MPI 12.5 0.188 1.69 1.5 IMRS 11.468 4.167 40.5 36.33 LOCK 10.101 0.312 3.41 3.09 SIMWF 10 0.312 3.44 3.12 MICG 9.728 0.781 8.81 8.03 BBRC 7.427 1.75 25.31 23.56 WAXS 7.218 2.156 32.03 29.88 BEAS 7.073 1.812 27.44 25.62 RENT 6.944 0.625 9.62 9 BBY 6.291 4.188 70.75 66.56 APTX 6.25 0.062 1.06 1 MSPG 5.572 3.531 66.91 63.38 TCTV 5 0.125 2.62 2.5 FMDAY 4.082 0.062 1.59 1.53 AIRT 3.922 0.5 13.25 12.75 KWIC 3.797 1.5 41 39.5 NRMI 3.191 0.188 6.06 5.88 AW 1.587 0.062 4 3.94 AGD 1.235 0.125 10.25 10.12 HAIN 0.98 0.188 19.31 19.12 GTAX 0.866 0.125 14.56 14.44 FORSF 0.351 0.062 17.88 17.81 AIPN 0 0 3.75 3.75 ATPX 0 0 14.12 14.12 ELGT 0 0 2.59 2.59 KRSL 0 0 9.12 9.12 NVSN 0 0 1.31 1.31 TAVA 0 0 11.75 11.75 LBOR -0.392 -0.125 31.75 31.88 ONSL -0.398 -0.125 31.25 31.38 NAII -2.353 -0.5 20.75 21.25 ESX -2.439 -0.125 5 5.12 GMGC -3.597 -0.156 4.19 4.34 MTI -4.04 -0.25 5.94 6.19 ASTN -4.132 -0.156 3.62 3.78 REGI -4.386 -1.25 27.25 28.5 WEBB -4.938 -0.5 9.62 10.12 IWLC -4.938 -1 19.25 20.25 SCMM -5.124 -3.625 67.12 70.75 MLG -5.495 -0.625 10.75 11.38 COLTY -5.577 -5.438 92.06 97.5 ALGI -6.122 -3 46 49 OPTQ -7.692 -0.031 0.38 0.41 LMLAF -7.692 -0.125 1.5 1.62 ARX -7.692 -1.125 13.5 14.62 IDTC -8.036 -2.812 32.19 35 DPMD -8.696 -1 10.5 11.5 GDP -9.244 -0.688 6.75 7.44 PSQL -10.249 -2.312 20.25 22.56 SGM -13.793 -0.25 1.56 1.81 ACAJ -14.706 -0.312 1.81 2.12 LPAC -15.789 -0.094 0.5 0.59 HEPH -15.932 -2.938 15.5 18.44 ABD -20.149 -1.688 6.69 8.38 INIS -20.833 -6.25 23.75 30 MSTG -23.256 -0.625 2.06 2.69 GOLF -23.81 -2.188 7 9.19 ANTP -24.528 -0.812 2.5 3.31 SBAS -24.545 -0.844 2.59 3.44 VCLL -25 -0.5 1.5 2 AERTA -26.923 -0.438 1.19 1.62 TLDT -28.571 -1 2.5 3.5 IRSN -29.348 -0.844 2.03 2.88 VINFD -56.154 -9.125 7.12 16.25 4.71 1.46 18.71 17.25
