RE: Using more than one parameter for sec

["Moshe Shalom" <moshe_shalom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Melesse,

You should create an external database that stores the data you want to
insert by dates. Then create a program that takes the data from the DB and
insert it in the OI field when creating ASCII files to be loaded (with
convert) into MS.

I am loading data only this way and not in any online manner.

I hope this helps.

Moshe

I would like to know how you are storing or making use of the open-intereste
field to store information. At one time, I had to create a security built
out of data from two securities. and I had to use the open and openinterest
fields in the new security. The method works as follows:

1) Convert security (1) to ASCII text format
2) Convert security (2) to ASCII text format
3) Write C program to parse and concatenate the fields and create a ASCII
text
file
4)Convert the ASCII in (3) to Metastock data format.
