[amibroker] Re: $ in a FT symbol

["richardlboroff" <rboroff@xxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

My line in an afl file is

IssRatio = $nadv / $decl;


And I get the error message----

Syntax error at line 41, column 12:


IssRatio = $
-----------^

So I guess the question is, what is it really telling me.

And yes,  I can use this symbol in a watch list, no problem, just get 
stopped in the afl file.

Thanks

Richard
