Bdog! Not that i'm that familiar with QP like i already told you but i think that the MAX command is only possible with a certain set of variables defined in the help files. Your mday variable is not one of the preset ones and that's why you might get the error message. Your scan would i think work with Metastock which allows the custom parameters and search for the HHV over a defined period. Stefan

Bdog, Replace your statement by this one : mday1:=(daysloaded-1)*-1; This works. Alain Joaris

Update, bdog. That bug in the pre-run parser [discussed here in July?] was fixed in the last web version. [Your scan eventually died with a boundary exceeded violation because max(-1,mday1,cl) needs mday1 +1 days.] Today's answer session has been oversubscribed ;) Bob

HI BDOG! Just a simple question! Your original alltimehigh scan had the following code daystoload=2200; integer mday1; mday1:=(daysloaded)*-1; if close(0)>max(-1,mday1,cl) then // this is where the error occurs println symbol:-8;(i deleted the input/output lines!!) WHY can't you use Close(0)>max(-1,-2199,cl)? Isn't that the usual way of working with the max-command? I tried to run it this way but my the scan program locked up. It only ran when i reduced the days to -1500 which was just a number randomly picked since the lock up occured with -2100 and -1800. Don't know what is going on there! The stocks picked are correct with -1500. Any ideas or explanation why you use mday as parameter? Stefan P.S.Sorry about my answer about the item tokens. It was very, very early and i was still sleepy. You used of course an item token and i mixed up mday with that.
