Rik: I am not clear on what you mean by "open/close" status of funds.
If you mean is it open to investors to buy, then not even FT provides
that. One FastTracker has a Trade code that does nothing more than
create a family of closed and also ERF (early redemption fee funds). I
keep a spreadsheet with the open and non-ERF funds. Everyone does it
similarly but no data provider keeps this kind of data that I am aware
of.

Does anyone know if the TC200 data or the FT data includes information
on
the open/close status of funds.

I believe someone did a side by side comparison of TC2000 MFs and
FastTrack MFs (same funds) and found that the recent TC2k MFs were
"getting better", but still did not approach the quality of the FT data.
Not so much delisted issues although that is important and FT does keep
the lists clean. More, it is regular and frequent updates for dividends
and capital gains distributions that must be in the Total return
numbers, something TC2k MFs and most others do not do, or do not do with
any regularity. I would guess (only guess) that QP2 does not do a good
job of keeping things up to date. Only someone with both services can
compare unless there is an effort to post sample data by owners of the
various data suppliers and let folks "look for themselves". I do not
have a lot of energy for that myself, others might.

QuotesPlus has both stocks and funds in a single db. I'd assume that
commodities, if you buy that data, which I don't, would also be in that
same db.
no comment re their data quality, other than that their system
reliability has been quite good in the three months or so I've used
them. (I mean that literally, no judgement, not some negative
implication. don't feel qualified to answer.) I believe they do remove
delisted issues, for better and worse.

I'm looking for alternatives to TC2000 and TC2000Funds. Would other AB
users please weigh in with comments on data suppliers?
Thanks,
