Hi everyone.
I haven't been getting any mail from this list for a while, so excuse me if I'm covering old ground.
I'm on the BMI feed. Still on TSBuild 24.
I came in to my office this morning (01/03/2000), and found my charts were not updating.
I discovered all my current futures contracts were expired. I checked the Omega site for Y2K news, and found a news flash on the topic.
Turns out that BMI sent out a 3 digit date for 6 hours on New Year's Day. TS interpreted it as Oct 26, 2000. My server did a morning update during that time, and marked all my contracts as expired. I went through the (newly posted) instructions for recreating contracts after they've expired. I tried using the morning update to add the contracts in, but none got added, so I had to do them by hand. I think the whole procedure worked, but not sure yet. (You'd think there'd be a little button to say "unexpire contract" but no.)
Just thought I'd mention it and find out what's happening to others.
Happy New Year,
Mike Gossland
