Sorry, that is not the problem. The problem occurs when the symbol name is exactly 16 characters long. All other symbol names shorter OR longer than 16 characters read OK.
I am using Downloader 10.1 (directly from MetaStock), with its EMASTER files. Reuters-MetaStock IS the data source. Downloader creates and reads the data files perfectly. AB doesn't. The bug exists exactly as described. -CS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomasz Janeczko" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [amibroker] AmiBroker 5.27.0 ALPHA released | Hello, | | Your data source has problem. | You should consult data vendor, | they should be supplying EMASTER/XMASTER files because only | those files handle long names (52 characters). | Only very ancient MASTER files have limit of 16 chars. | New plugin attempts to read from EMASTER/XMASTER and then | upto 52 characters are read.
