Why 
not simply do this in QP2 then create a watchlist of your exported qp2 list? The 
advantage is that AB does not need to chug through your whole database checking 
all your various criteria since every stock in your watchlist will meet all your 
criteria.When doing scans and explores you simply point to this "Universe" of 
stocks.

Jayson

question
Hello,
 
I want to exclude all preferred stocks from my 
scan.
 
In their symbols they either end with " p" (space 
p) or with " p.." (space p followed by any other letter).
 
While the first may be excluded by<FONT 
color=#6600aa face="Courier New"> 
(StrRight<FONT 
color=#6600aa face="Courier New">(<FONT color=#0000ff 
face="Courier New">Name<FONT color=#6600aa 
face="Courier New">(),<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">2) != 
" P"
how could exclude latter case since I donīt know which (if at all) letter 
might follow??
Thank you for your help
 
Markus
