[amibroker] Re: How does Date() return the date ?

["salil_gangal" <salil_gangal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tomasz,

Hmm ... 

That does pose an interesting problem when one is dealing securities 
via Foreign(), as none of the values in Foreign are *actually* 
selected.

So perhaps let me re-state the problem. As before I have 3 securities 
with different lengths of data and I'm accessing all of them with 
Foreign().  What is the way that I can know which data element is 
associated with which date ?  (In other words, LastValue() for first 
security is for date August 5th, for second it is for date August 8th 
and third it is for date August 13th.  How can know these dates in 
AFL script ?)

Regards,
- Salil V Gangal
