The best way to Test your (NDK) data provider is to:
1.-Convert your MSK's NDK file(s) to ASCII txt files: then use NotePad to view file contents
2.-Convert from any correct ASCII files to MSK: then use the DL to view file contents
3.-Compare results
-------------------------------------------------------
To Test the here by you send set of {incomplete} (NDK) MSK files for the AEX:
-first : I had to add {to your set} my own EMASTER file for the Aex
-than: I had to rename your
-f1.dat and f1.dop files to F1.dat and F1.dop
-the master.dat file to MASTER
-than in the DL could finaly view the AEX {see AEX.gif}
--------------------------------------------------------
Tets-results: {see AEX.gif and NewAEX.gif)
{note: in this I am using here different Country Settings than yours, eg US vs Dutch}
1) The file's dates+data contents are correct
and that's too why your Charts (dates) are also in agreement
2) Except that the "First date:"-field in the NDK's master.dat file is incorrect
to test I have copied and pasted only the dates+data to a newly created NewAEX file
and the DL now shows the correct "First date:" values
---------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
NDK is not creating correct master files. Either "live" with these short comings or
choose for the NDK's daily ASCII data files to be send and than Convert these.
That is too, how I receive them from FIBBS.
