When ever I change a parameter name I end up getting duplicates displayed in the param list... one with the old name, one with the new name. If I have a param that I no longer need and delete it from the AFL, the param still appears in the param list as a sort of 'ghost parameter'... I think this only occurs where I have multiple 'insert linked' versions of the same code across various charts... not sure why. --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com <mailto:amibroker%40yahoogroups.com> , "Tomasz Janeczko" <gro...@...> wrote: > > Hello, > > Any variable names, any parameter names, any watch list names, any file names should only > contain letters a-z, A-Z, digits 0..9 and underscore _ > > Using anything else is really bad idea as things like asterisk, slash, backslash and other > special characters are either file-system reserved (wildcards, etc) or special formatting sequences, etc. > > Best regards, > Tomasz Janeczko > amibroker.com > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steve Dugas" <sjdu...@...> > To: <amibroker@yahoogroups.com <mailto:amibroker%40yahoogroups.com> > > Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 6:17 PM > Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: AB vers. 5.29 > > > > No I mean the name you see when you open the params.
