RE: [amibroker] DateTime() in Exploration Column

Because it's a string and AddColumn only works with arrays.
You are stuck with the numeric output. I don't know if you can add
string data to the number. I think not.

Subject: [amibroker] DateTime() in Exploration Column

Hi,

I'm running the following AFL to Explore the Range of 7/1/2006 
through 7/14/2006 against a single symbol, IBM-5159:

  SetOption("NoDefaultColumns",True);

  Filter = True;

  AddColumn(DateTime(),"Date / Time",formatDateTime);
  AddTextColumn(Name(),"Symbol");
  AddTextColumn(NumToStr(DateTime(),formatDateTime)+"_"+Name(),"Key");


The Exploration output is:

Date / Time	Symbol	        Key	
7/3/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/5/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/6/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/7/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/10/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/11/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/12/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/13/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	
7/14/2006	IBM-5159	7/14/2006_IBM-5159	


Why doesn't the DateTime() portion of the "Key" column vary as it 
does in the first column, "Date / Time"?

What alternative should I use to generate a unique key that combines 
date and symbol in an Exploration?


Thanks,
