[Metastockusers] Re: Question on Security function

Hi Freddie,
Thanks very much for trying this.
It may have helped if I had explained a bit more up front.
Here goes:
I need you to try a gap in the middle, not at the beginning.
The problem with the Metastock/MS Dev Kit is that you can only return 
one range of periods with each function call.
E.g. you can return data for 02132002 - 05132003 BUT you cannot 
return data for 02132002-05132003 & 05152003 in one call (we have a 
gap).  I have to populate that missing day with something if I want 
to provide data either side of that date and the base security has 
data for that day.

So my question is what does the Security function do in situations 
where there is no data available in the middle.  Hence why I choose 
TAG and 05092001 as it's a trading day but for some reason that date 
has no data.

Did that make more sense?

Thanks very much,
Sean
