It sounds like you do not have any control over the
name and symbol supplied by JustData as other downloaders provide (e.g.,
Metastock Downloader). In this case, there is another way to
go. When you set up Metastock data plug-in you also have to set up the
folders from which it will import data. At this point, AB reads the name
in your metastock folders which does not contain exchange info.
However, you can add the exchange info by adding it to the name or
symbol under the symbol information tab within AB to reflect the
exchange. That change will be displayed in AB (fullname() and
name()) and not affect your metastock data and downloads.
