Not sure if you meant you need clarification from ME or ...? Anyway, here's my history:
1) Created original data file using GNC 2.6.12 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 2) Months later installed GNC 2.6.19 on Win 7 and copied datafile from #1 with no issues. - this datafile included (1) monthly scheduled transaction and about (20) securities each with about (5) manual price history updates 3) Weeks later installed GNC 3.1 on Win 7 and used same datafile from #2 with no issues. 4) Weeks later got Finance::Quote automatic price updates working via AlphaVantage on #3. 5) Days later copied datafile from #4 back to GNC 2.6.12 on Ubuntu. Everything looked fine including: - scheduled transaction notice for monthly transaction whose date had since passed by - price history for all securities including more recent entries from Finance::Quote - security details including (to my surprise) updated source for online updates to "Unknown:AlphaVantage" from "Single:Vanguard" (which had never worked) for all (20) securities. 6) Days later (just now) copied most recent datafile from #4 back to GNC 2.6.12 on Ubuntu just to see if prior success had been a fluke. Everything still looks fine. Hope this history is helpful.
