# Format definition for a file with ticker # and company name only. # $NOQUOTES 1 is necessary even if there # are no fields with numbers. # $AUTOADD 0: prevents creating new data # files with no quotes $FORMAT Ticker,FullName $SEPARATOR , $SKIPLINES 1 $NOQUOTES 1 $AUTOADD 0 $OVERWRITE 0 $DEBUG 1 This will import ASCii file that looks like this (as long as the ticker with quotes is already in your database): Ticker, FullName ECA=o XR , ECA Dec 46 Put ECA=o XQ , ECA Dec 48 Put ECA=o XJ , ECA Dec 50 Put ECA=o XT , ECA Dec 52 Put ECA=o XX , ECA Dec 54 Put Lester -- In [email protected], "Homar Simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I tried updating the Nasdaq symbols with a ticker list containing > just symbols and descriptions. > > They imported but they also corrupt the ALL category, so that only 1 > symbol shows there. > > Tried it with a fresh database and also see strangeness there. > Version 4.80. > > What would cause the ALL category to stop working? >
