Disobedient Data Selection

Hi Tomasz et all,

I just happened to notice that I was getting "weird" tickers
selected in my favorite SCAN run. 

In order to reduce the time involved in each scan (approximately 2 min,
50 sec) of 2800 tickers, I generated a watchlist of those tickers I
consider to be within my price range. This watchlist is 950 tickers long,
hence my scan is now under a minute.

The above would be a true statement if it worked.

The problem is, although I have tried all combinations of Range:

Apply To:  USE FILTER
Define:     Watchlist name is properly selected in
the INCLUDE window
Range:     Have tried three different selections
of:
                Last
Quotations = 1
                Last
Days          = 1
                From
To Dates  =  Identical Date

The watchlist IS up to data with data.
Under all of the above conditions I get tickers selected that are NOT in
the watchlist.

I therefore assume that there might be a switching problem somewhere in
AB effecting my watchlist selection. 

My AB version is;  3.80.4  Build date: Nov. 29, 2001

I would appreciate any assistance which would instruct my AB program to
"Do what it's told to do."

Best Regards, 

Hal
