 Any futures contract with a delivery month in the year 2000 will be
 updating under a new symbol indicating an expiration in the year 2010. For
 example: SP00H is now updating under the symbol SP10H.
 
 Here is the exact syntax:
 
    <root symbol><00><month code>
 
 will be available through symbols formatted:
 
    <root symbol><10><month code>.
 
 Example (This weeks data for):
    "SP00H" will be available via symbol "SP10H"
 
 
 We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this temporary situation
 may cause you. We will correct the problem as soon as we possibly can.
 
 
 We appreciate your business and thank you for your
 patience and understanding regarding this matter.

An unforseen issue related to the decade rollover has caused a futures symbol 
translation problem in the servers providing service to QCharts, LiveCharts, 
third-party QFeed applications, and the Quote.com/Lycos web site.

Any futures contract with a delivery month in the year 2000 will be
updating under a new symbol indicating an expiration in the year 2010. For
example: SP00H is now updating under the symbol SP10H.

Here is the exact syntax:

    <root symbol><00><month code>

will be available through symbols formatted:

    <root symbol><10><month code>.

Example (This weeks data for):
    "SP00H" will be available via symbol "SP10H"
