Hello,
No, retrieve works correctly.
Dates with time of 00:00:00 are retrieved correctly - if you
are using Visual Basic
it will display date only portion because this is the way how
Visual Basic works.
So there is nothing wrong - it is just the way how VB handles
dates with time stamp = zero
(it is also handled that way by date/time picker - part of
Microsoft Windows).
It is upto your program to interpret this
correctly.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

tool broken?
Hi Dave/Thomas,
>From what I can deduce it seems that
the Retreive() function is not
handing certain date/time stamps correctly
i.e '31/01/2003 00:00:00'
the time portion is removed from the data so
(from memory) that
particular bar will always appear as the first bar for
that days
session until the new day is reached.
In March 2005 I
lodged a support ticket for that problem with the Retreive() function
which
is part of the AMiBroker COM interface used by the simulator
tool.
I made subsequent enquiries with Amibroker support and was told
by
Marcin that he had referred the problem to Tomasz and I haven't
heard
anything since.
I'm uncertain as to why you seem to see
the problem more now than
before, it could be coincidence or perhaps some
other issue. If you
would like to send me a copy of 3/4 days data I will
take a look for
you.
(See copy of support ticket #18892
below)
