I made a mistake with my initial program logic. I doubt anyone
here except the programmers would notice. :^) This should be
correct. I believe this routine would produce only one ticker so
the Save_Ticker[x] array shouldn't be needed.
In other words, this fictitious routine would allow an investor
to "sift" through 100 tickers, or 8,000 if he wished, and find
the highest performing stock over the last 5 days. I'm
mentioning this because it would be nice if Equis had this
capability built into MS. MS should include VBA so we don't have
to reinvent the wheel since many of us already own Microsoft
Office 97/2000. QP v2.1 must also be VBA capable. Anyway...
Save:=0;
For x=1 to 100
For y=1 to 100
If Not x=y
For z=5 to 1
If ref(Ticker[x],-z) /ref(Ticker[y],-z) >
ref(Ticker[x],-z+1)/ref(Ticker[y],-z+1)
Then Goto NEXT_SYMBOL;
Next z;
Next y;
Save:=Save+1;
Save_Ticker[Save] := Ticker[x];
:NEXT_SYMBOL;
Next x;
End.
