RE: Quote Plus Evaluation

["Sean W. Smith" <sean_smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

BTW:  According to my scan.  There are aproximately 3700 suspect records in
the entire database. Most of which occurr in the several hundred provided
index symbols.  The stock and MF data are very clean in this respect.  The #
overall 3700/18000  results is .2 errors per security not 95 as alain's
program reports.  (Obviously we have some kind of problem here as his
program says there are 500x the errors that I see). Lets see the source code
and figure out where the problem lies....  Alain, how fast does your program
run.  Mine takes all night to run.  I would love to see a performance
comparison between VB and the internal scanning programming...

Here's my code again for further review....

daystoload = 2200;
daysrequired =1;

integer numdays;
integer i,j;

numdays:=((DaysLoaded-1)*-1);

output="out_of_range.lst";

//exchange=nyse,nasdaq,amex;

for i=numdays to 0 step 1 do
  if close(i) < low(i) then
     println "Close < Low  : Symbol ",Symbol:7," Date ",Date(i):12," Open
",open(i):7:2," Close ",close(i):7:2," High ",high(i):7:2," Low
",low(i):7:2;
  endif;
  if close(i) > high(i) then
     println "Close > High : Symbol ",Symbol:7," Date ",Date(i):12," Open
",open(i):7:2," Close ",close(i):7:2," High ",high(i):7:2," Low
",low(i):7:2;
  endif;
  if low(i) > high(i) then
     println "Low > High   : Symbol ",Symbol:7," Date ",Date(i):12," Open
",open(i):7:2," Close ",close(i):7:2," High ",high(i):7:2," Low
",low(i):7:2;
  endif;
  if open(i) < low(i) then
     println "Open < Low   : Symbol ",Symbol:7," Date ",Date(i):12," Open
",open(i):7:2," Close ",close(i):7:2," High ",high(i):7:2," Low
",low(i):7:2;
  endif;
  if open(i) > high(i) then
     println "Open > High : Symbol ",Symbol:7," Date ",Date(i):12," Open
",open(i):7:2," Close ",close(i):7:2," High ",high(i):7:2," Low
",low(i):7:2;
  endif;

next i;
