Thanks for your response. Here is

Example:

My file is called  FILE1.PRN

Specs:

 1. First 10 columns for stock or ticker name
 2.          3 spaces
 3.          8 columns for Open
 4.          3 spaces
 5.          8 columns for High
 6.          3 spaces
 7.          8 columns for Low
 8.          3 spaces
 9.          8 columns for Close
10.         3 spaces
11.         9 columns for Volume

This is daily data file, however what_data should be variable, where you
could set it to Daily, Weekly or Monthly
and then recompile your program for that variable. In this ex. var
what_data=D

Let's say my input looks like that:

WESTERN_C1      136.78     156.89     160.44     200.71   222999333        
   
WESTERN_C2      136.78     156.89     160.44     200.71   222999333        
   
WESTERN_C3      136.78     156.89     160.44     200.71   222999333        
   
WESTERN_C4      136.78     156.89     160.44     200.71   222999333
