Looks like a bug, Brooke. Println symbol, "," , Description, "," , IRLSymbol, IRLDailyIndex; gives the IRLSymbol, e.g. INSLIFE for AAG, and F for it shows Industry Group: Insurance-Life Industry Sector: Financial. The bug shows when you open INSLIFE [!ID114] and F2 it; the list starts with ABBK, and is in fact the list for BANKNE [!ID012] -- explaining your results! I'd never noticed this because the alternative I always use, F1, gives the correct issues. Bob Couldn't be a bug. must be user error.... :) Sean

Hi Bob, rather that letting Sean hog all the questions I thought I would share one with you. :-) I just ran the following scan and got some unexpected results the date(bar) gave me different dates within the same scan. input="nyse.lst"; output="2 NYSE Over 20 DMA.lst"; daystoload=1000; integer bar; bar:= -202; if Close(bar)> movavg(bar,20,cl) then println symbol,",",date(bar); endif; Partial Sample of Results: AFM ,10/20/1997 AFS ,10/20/1997 AGC ,10/20/1997 AGF ,10/20/1997 AGI ,10/20/1997 AGL ,10/20/1997 AGP ,10/17/1997 AHC ,10/20/1997 AHE ,10/20/1997 AHG ,10/20/1997 Notice that day -202 is 10/20/97 but I had several drop out with 10/17/97 Am I doing something wrong? Thanks Monty
