Symbol, Last, Change, Volume, Previous,High, Low, %Chg
Since this is the format of the data they provide, comma delimited, and
it is multi issue, you would either use a spreadsheet, which is what I
would use, or a word processor and remove the Change, Previous and %Chg
columns from the data. Add a column for the date and using the copy
feature of the spreadsheet, fill the date in the entire column of data.
Then, make a header that says
<Ticker>,<Close>,<Volume>,<High>,<Low>,<Date>. This is all explained in
the help file within The DownLoader for Windows under ASCII.
"A header line can be placed at the top of the ASCII file to specify the
arrangement of the data. This allows you to arrange the data in any
order you wish. The line below shows volume appearing before the price
fields.
<date>,<vol>,<high>,<low>,<close>
7/29/86,624589,122.375,120.500,121.75
7/30/86,431234,123.125,122.5,122.75

Subject: ASCII eod data with Downloader
Alan, your futures site looks like an an excellent site for commmodity
futures.
I found this site http://www.tradepbs.com/qsys/web/headers/downmenu
for eod stocks. But that still leaves the main problem:
how to convert the format on that page to the one
required by Downloader.
MSPRO tech support, are you there? Any ideas on how to use the free
eod stock data with Downloader?
Has anyone in this group been able to do this with stocks?
