Re: Importing futures .xpo data into Global Server with wrong name

[Jimmy Snowden <jhsnowden@xxxxxxx>]

John,

Personally I think you are making it too difficult.  Just change to
Esignal.  Ok ok ok then try this.

I don't use Hyperserver but is you can get the data into into the GS
by adding the wrong symbol do it.  Set it up as @esm4 or whatever it
is then import the data.  If it comes in then export it ASCII or even
XPO or OMZ then use hypertools to convert the symbol to the symbol you
need then import the XPO or OMZ in the GS.

Now back to Esignal.  You do it all in one step.  File download from
Esignal and her it comes.

Best regards,
