the 
formula is fairly straight forward. you take today's close - yesterdays close 
then divide that number by yesterdays close. You can move the decimal pointby 
multiplying the whole thing by 10.

in 
AFL
<SPAN

<SPAN 
class=301210717-14102002>x=(c-ref(c,-1))/ref(c,-1)*10;
<SPAN 
class=301210717-14102002> 
adjust 
ref(c,  ) for your 5 and 30 day percentages. you could use the addcolumn 
function to format your report. A tutorial is in the help files just search 
"addcolumn" and then follow "How to create your own 
exploration"

PerformanceI'm wondering if anyone out there has 
developed a performance type Scan or Exploration that will go through the 
database (mine is of 6600 stocks) and calculate their % movement up or down 
on a 1 day &#8211; 5day and 30 day basis. Results would appear in colums " 1-day, 
5-day, and 30-day.  If so would appreciate the code for such a 
program.   Thanks.R.E.(Dick) HoiermanPost
