I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here :(

If you want access to the first price in a chart then there are a couple of
ways to do that without needing a latch. Here's one off the top of my head.

Valuewhen(1,Cum(1)=1,C);

To get a price from the same date from two issues without having to truncate
your data you could try this.

Date:=Year()=2002 and DayofMonth()=2 and Month()=1;
Valuewhen(1,Date,C);

or this to eliminate N/A periods that might be a problem.

Date:=Year()=2002 and DayofMonth()=2 and Month()=1;
LastValue(Valuewhen(1,Date,C));

I'm not sure what you mean by "P value". Can you elaborate?
