<DIV><FONT size=2>A VBA macro in Word will easely do the job.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Setting it up will be the hardest -and more of a (but then one
time only) very time consuming- part.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These are the basic steps that the macro should perform each
time-before using DL's Convert:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Open file at its current Temp location,
eg "C:\Temp\Email\Data\yourfile.txt"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. Add to each line the missing Open Intrest(O/I) column's
values, eg " ,0 "</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. Then add the proper ASCII heading on the
first line</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4. Then use the Find function and later Select each line
that holds the " ,0,0 " values for both the Vol + O/I</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>5. Then fully Delete each of these lines -found in #
3- and upmove the line below that </FONT><FONT size=2>(not having any
blanc lines left)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>6. Then Save As the file in PRN format now in a back up
folder, "C:\YourProvider\yourfilewithdate.prn"</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>7. Call the Downloader via the Run program
command</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Running Word+sending the keystrokes to run the macro+Running
the Downloader+sending the keystrokes to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the Downloader for the Convert actions, can all be
run easely done in the ScriptIt program. </DIV></FONT>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>I've just started downloading daily data from a new
supplier (see sample below).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>The data is fine except that when a security has not
traded on the day and there is zero volume the supplier still provides the
O/H/L/C which I assume are the most recent prices the security traded at.
In the sample below, the security AAA hasn't traded since January this year.
So having a data point on my chart when the stock has not traded to me
is useless.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080> My previous data supplier only ever supplied
data which <STRONG>ACTUALLY </STRONG>traded on each day. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080><U>My question is:</U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Is there an easy way to "clean" this data and
eliminate those securities from the file which have zero volume before I
convert the file in the Downloader? I had a try in Excel without success and I
thought maybe someone on the list might have a solution.</FONT></DIV>
