I
realize that Herman and others suggested include files and static variables as
ways to assign differing constant values depending on the symbol being
processed. I am about to turn there, but can I ask again if anyone has a
comment or suggestion about the simple _vbscript_ code below and my problem in
getting it to perform as intended.
These
few lines seem, to me, to be FAR more simple than any loop construction with
naming conventions to assign several simple values to constant variables
dependent on the symbol name.
Please
take a look and offer a comment. I understand that not many may know the
_vbscript_ syntax and thus cannot comment, but some of you out there know
it.
thanks.
I used this code in 2002
successfully (on whatever version of AB was running then).
Today I stuck it in some
code and while it did not produce an error, it seems not to recognize the change
in symbols.
An explore after these
lines shows that all symbols have the same BuyLevel = 174 and SellLevel = 80
saying that the Select command "fell through" to the "else" part even thou
the watchlist contained only the five ETF symbols listed in the case
statements.
Can anyone spot what might
be wrong or missing?
What is the modern day way
of doing this? I tried IF statements (not IIF) and only the last IF
statement was operative, ie, only the last IF corresponding to the last symbol
in the watchlist was operative. The modern way will be more complex loops,
yes? The Case statements below seem pretty simple if I could get them to
work.
Thanks.
