I just did the update for yesterday's data and then ran several scans, including the one which bombed yesterday. So far, everything appears fine.

Is it possible to write a scan for an all-time high in QPv2? I thought this was relatively simple: //All-time high scan input = "stocks-in.lst"; output = "all-time-high.lst"; Integer NumDays; Float MxHi; DaysToLoad=2200; if close(0) > 0 then NumDays:=((DaysLoaded-1)*-1); MxHi := Max(0,-255,hi); Println Symbol, ", ", NumDays, ", ", MxHi; endif; If you replace the constant '-255' by the variable 'NumDays', in order to scan for a high over all loaded days like this MxHi := Max(0,-255,hi); // original MxHi := Max(0,NumDays,hi); // with -255 replaced by NumDays the scan stops working. I.e. there is no output at all. Anyone know why? Is this a parsing bug again? Regards, Johan

Gary, I'm getting different results from a scan ran on 9-16 and then after updating for 9-17. The following scan returned CYMI and HMA on 9-16 after the 9-16 update. After the 9-17 update (and setting the loop back one day) there were no HITS for 9-16. There seems to be a problem with the ABS function?? Data?? or???? If I changed the marked lines I can get CYMI to come up but have not been able to get HMA. I have a second computer that had not been updated to 9-17 and the results for 9-16 still come up CYMI & HMA. After backing up comp #2, I updated with the 9-17 data and ran the scan for 9-16, no HITS. This leads me to believe that the data is corrupted in such a way that it messes up the ABS function? Please help!!
