: : hi Mark: I'm trying to import BUY transactions into a port with multiple investments using the Generic file format. The price (ANUM)shown on the preview screen shows erronious Purchase Price on the listed investments. The price looks like the leading digits are truncated (example 175.50 is trucated to 75.50 or 5.50 or 0.50) which seems to indicate the programs format is off for ANUM. All the other parameters appear correct(SYM,UD,TRAN,BNUM,CNUM). I imported the buy txns and sure enough the wrong price was used. Do you think this is a program bug? |FC

: importing, and the exact format string you're using? Please also include
: details on a specific transaction that is appearing incorrect. I can take a
: closer look. To get our email address please fill out the contact form.

: Thanks,

Hi Mark: I discoved what the problem is. For the Import string I had the order as SYMB,UD,TRAN,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM. If I change the string to SYMB,TRAN,UD,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM then the purchase price is imported correctly. Go figure? Anyway, you probably need to fix this string order problem in your next release. Thanks for your help|fc
