As a thank you to TJ. Because we like AB, and everybody tries to do 
his/her part in sharing knowledge/ideas, but mainly to relieve him 
from support, so he can focus on the next upgrade.

Create a CSV-table with headings in row 1, tickers in col1 and 
required nrs of group, market, etc in following cols. Looks like this:

Ticker, IndustryNr, MarketNr
MSFT, 1, 1
INTL, 2, 2
etc.

Then create and save a "import-format"file in Amibroker\Formats like 
below (see also existing files, and read the manual):

$FORMAT Ticker, GroupID(), MarketID()
$SKIPLINES 1
$SEPARATOR ,
$OVERWRITE 1
$AUTOADD 1
$NOQUOTES 1 

Run this file via AB ASCII import. Done.

Report is only applicable for backtest (i.e. after you've run a BT).
