I sent a message before saying everything ok about this, but no it is not.
I retried calmly from scratch the following:
With the new Downloader for the Euro changes:
Built 2 files by hand with 2/3 days of data each, and open interest <>0, on
a fresh folder
Selected the "Adjust multiple securities" option, last date after the last
date on the datafile, and one option only: Multiply Open Interest by 0. It
keeps unchanged.
The problem cannot arise from the data files , because I created them just
for this purpose...
Best regards
Rui Marques
