Re: 2000i Global Server : How Add or Insert around 700 row of datas within a global server symbol edit data window ?

[Jimmy <jhsnowden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philippe,

Copy your data in the PDS folder to a new folder so if you mess up you
can just copy it back.

Export the data from the new contract, August, and choose the exact time to
start the export in the date and time window. 16:01 Then rename the
symbol with some slight change like adding a 8 after it.  Then rename
the July contract to the correct August name and import the data.  Now
the July data is joined with the new August data for only after 16:00
and the correct August symbol.  I hope I understand what you have
asked for.  If not perhaps you understand what I have done and can
fix it up.  If there is a mistake then simply shut down the GS and
Charting then copy the contents of the PDS folder you copied out
earlier back to the current PDS folder and start all over.
