[amibroker] Setting up Yes/No Flags

["marketmonk777" <dlittner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I am starting to create various conditions to perform visual checks on
explorations.  For example I have a line of code that checks to see if
the closing price is a 21 day new closing high:

NH = C >= HHV( Close, 21);
this returns a 1.00 or a 0.00

I would like to take this example and a number of other conditions
that I would like to test for and create columns for them in the output.

But I really don't want to see a 1.00 or a 0.00.  What I would like to
see is a Yes or a No (even better would be a Yes or a null).

So I added the following line below the one above to convert the data
type from a number to a string:
NHF = WriteIf(NH, "Yes", " ");  // New High Flag

My problem is I can easily add the following:
AddColumn(NH, "NH");   which will add a column and display a 1.00 or a
0.00 (with formating I could get that to display a 1 or a 0).

What I would like to use though is the NHF variable. I have tried all
sorts of combinations with no luck.

This one AddColumn(WriteIf(NH, "Yes", "No"), "NHF"); gives me an error
that states: 
Error 5. Argument #1 has incorrect type (the function expects
different argument type here)

I am stumped.   Please help.

Thanks,

Dave
