I tried this on a pair of old contacts (not brave enough for the current
ones :-). It *does* work, but requires a careful series of dangerous
delete and rename operations. One has to be careful because there is
undesired data at *both* ends of each contract. Part way through my first
try, I got a phone call, forgot a step, and the data went ka-blooie. Good
thing I made a backup.
I checked in TS2k, and the operation seems to be done through the 'split'
field in the data base. OK for stocks, I guess, but there is NO split
field in futures data. Makes it a bit hard... Can one add a split field to
futures data without fouling anything up in TS2k? Anyone tried this in
TS2k?
There's gotta be a better way :-)...
I do appreciate your workaround, though.
Thanks much,
Larry
