QP2 scan language question Hi, everyone. I'm new to QP2, and I've been greatly enjoying its programming flexibility. There is one question I have, though. When you have specified a list file as an input, the scan is invoked one time for each security listed in the first column of the input list. My question is, is there any way to access data in other columns of the list? In other words, if a previous scan output a list of security names in the first column as well as some number in the second column (such as the output of a custom indicator...), when the list is used as the input to a second scan, is the second column loaded into some variable that can be accessed within the second scan? This would help greatly with some of the backtesting I am trying to do... Also, it would be helpful if there was some way to invoke a subroutine. I am guessing that there is no such feature, but if there is a way to do it, I'd appreciate a pointer. Thanks a lot for any help! Boom Dog

You've apparently missed (or mercifully forgotten) some of my earlier posts e.g. #7508, #7511. Amusing, Gary O. I'm chuckling over that "mercifully forgotten." My memory has been failing me ever since ... ever since .... Now I've lost my train of thought. Brooke
