Hi,
 
Just a hint: there is no need to multiply volume 
before using ASCII importer
as it supports $VOLFACTOR command:

<TABLE borderColor=#c00000 cellSpacing=0 borderColorDark=#c00000 cellPadding=3 
width="80%" bgColor=#c00000 border=1>


Command 
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2>$VOLFACTOR
Define 
volume factor

Arguments
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2><number>
the factor by which volume 
data is multiplied (default = 1)

Alias 
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2> 

Examples 
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2>$VOLFACTOR 10
 
 
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Subject: [amibroker] Categorising 
stock
<FONT face=Arial 
size=2>I'm building up a stock database from two sources. I get 4 years 
historicaldata from a TC2000 database and then get daily data from yahoo. I 
would likemy stocks to be categorised by industry but don't want to do this 
manually.The TC2000 data can export industry, for example here is an 
entry for ARG:7.8,8.15,7.8,8.15,44400,ARG,Airgas 
Inc,04/05/2001,WHOLESALE - IndustrialEquipment WholesaleI have 
written a format to import this into amibroker (through irritatinglyI have 
to multilply the volume by 100 before import!). The format is 
asfollows:# AmiQuote historical quotes download format (.TXT 
extension)$FORMAT Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Name,FullName,Date_MDY, 
Industry$SKIPLINES 0$SEPARATOR ,$DEBUG 1$AUTOADD 1$CONT 
1$GROUP 254$BREAKONERR 1This works aprt from the categorisation. 
I guess the amibroker help istelling me that I need an industry ID and not 
an industry name. Is there 
asolution?Regards,David.------------------------
