This was from my original post. A couple of others sort of changed
the subject, but the question was really what
does 'atcFlagResetValues' do?
>> I've been using AddToComposite to create various reference indices
>> and industry indices lately and I'm wondering what this statement
>> from the AB help file really means?
>> atcFlagResetValues = 1 - reset values at the beginning of scan
>> (recommended)
