Re: Automated TS2000i data to ASCII

In TS 4 you can use the GetSymbolName function to put the
name of the stock into the filename automagically.  Then you 
don't need to have a copy of the indicator for each stock 
(with its symbol hard-coded). Is this function still in TS2K ?

With this method you can also create a Custom Data Group with 
of all the stocks you want to dump, and one chart with the group
and the indicator.  Run ChartScanner on this workspace, and Viola !
all the stocks get dumped.   Of course, Omega DID change
ChartScanner for TS2K, so I don't know how this might work.
