Lionel -
We are consistent with the class characters. The class character is
always in the 6th character position. So RTN.A would be RTN A with 2
spaces.
For Preferred issues, the P is always in position 5, so Alcoa preferred
is AA P with 2 spaces.
GM preferred class D is GM PD with 2 spaces.
The . designator is not universal, some vendors use / some use a
combination of upper and lower case letters for the class RTNb or GMpD
etc.
I should be able to get that update report modified for the coming
release.
Thanks,
Gary

Other deficiencies in QP.
QP should have a standard designation for tickers that have more than
one
class of issue. For example Raytheon class A is usually given as RTN.A.
QP
uses RTN A (ticker and 2 spaces). Other tickers in the QP database can
have one, two, or three spaces between the main ticker and the class
designation. Better still use the more or less standard designation of
RTN.A
(ticker+dot+class).
When QP cannot find a ticker in its data base, the error message should
also
give the folder in which this occurred.
Related to this, the Report Of Changes is incomplete and during a
download
QP does not show all the obsolete/changed tickers in my folders. That
is, I
don't get a messages that certain tickers are not in the QP data base.
Periodically I have to manually scan my folders for obsolete tickers.
Some of the scans that are supplied with the program are useless, others
are
erroneous or have incomplete commentary.
QP should have a hard copy manual. This should be written by a tech
writer
and not by a programmer. Most programmers are poor writers. Metastock
hard
copy manuals and on line help are examples of superior manuals and
documentation.
