Gary, but usually for dead symbols the close = high = low = open and the close price will stay the same once the symbol is inactive, right? So if you leave them in the database for 10 days then one would be able to scan for them quite easily.
If a symbol becomes inactive / delisted and the next day it is removed from the databse then I will not be able to find it in time. regards, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: gary To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 4:41 PM Subject: Re: [quotes-plus] Index changes Hi I want to get rid of dead symbols as soon as possible. It's impossible to determine from the price and volume alone, so they take some research. I hope to have them gone within 10 days. The correction for BPO is out now.

Will I have time to track them? BPO has been split, not visible in the data. Adjusting stock splits seems more important to me than just removing dead symbols from 1 day to the other, rgds, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: gary To: [email protected] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 1:00 AM Subject: [quotes-plus] Index changes Hello In tonight's download, there are a few index symbol changes. !RUSS is now !RLG - Russell 1000 Growth !RUSM is now !RMC - Russell Midcap !RUVA is now !RLV - Russell 1000 Value !SML6 is now !SML - S&P Small cap 600 index Also !RMN - Mini Russell 2000 Index has been added These changes bring our symbols in line with the CBOE option symbols for these indexes.
