Graham,
Thanks for that suggestion, it
sounds like an interesting alternative to what I was thinking of
doing. Are you able to fill me in on how you go about "filter(ing) my
incoming data download" to achieve this end?
(One of the reasons I started
looking for alternatives was that Tomasz' delete script also deletes existing
composites, which I would prefer to keep with their descriptive names, making
pre-filtering more desirable)

[amibroker] importing ASX data: Stocks vs
Options/WarrantsHi All,For some time I've
been deleting ASX options and warrants after theirimport into AB's
database, since I felt there was little need tohandle them if I didn't
intend to trade them. For one reason oranother I've decided to start
keeping them, but am finding the manualjob of sorting them into separate
groups from Stocks extremely tedious(Symbol/Organize assignments). This
raises two questions:1) Is it acceptable practice to sort both Options
and Warrants intoone group and Stocks into another, or is it more
desirable to alsosplit Options and Warrants into their own separate groups
(forscanning as distinct entities due to predictable differences
inbehaviour or handling etc)?2) Tomasz provided a script
(attached) some time ago with which todelete ASX warrants and options,
since it filters based on the numberof characters in the symbols name(ASX
stocks have 3 character codes,options and warrants have 6 characters)
before deleting the latter. Ipresume this script could be modified to
perform a groupID change(rather then DELETE) if the first scenario above
was deemedacceptable. I also presume it could even be modified to
separateoptions and warrants given that warrants (as far as I know)
contain"W" as the fourth character in their codes, if the second
scenarioabove was deemed preferrable. Unfortunately, after looking at
theattached script and the documentation, I can see I'm a long way
offfrom learning the solution that way. I thought there had been
previousdiscussion on this issue quite some time ago, but Yahoo searches
havecome up empty. I'm very curious to know what other ASX users are
doingthe handle this issue, what solutions you may have in place, and
whatcomments you care to make about this issue in general.Anyand
all feedback greatly
appreciated.Regards,
