Even though there is no standard format, AmiBroker does have the '$FORMAT'
command which allows you to specify the data format to be imported. The
only problem seems to be getting the stock name into the format in a way
that AmiBroker can understand, hence my question regarding a generic
script. There has to be a way using AREXX to get the stock name recognised
by AmiBroker.


Bye for now,
Terry
