I am trying to automate most of the daily functions of my processing, and so far I've scheduled the nightly download, run a program to create a custom scan for that day when the download completes, run the scan, and save the output to a file coded with that day's date.
The next step in my chain is to run QP_ASCII to Export a List. Since I run all tickers, producing a zillion small files won't work. Plus, I have extensive programs to analyze the history that scan and ascii export create, and I don't want to rewrite them... What I'd like to do is run QP_ASCII to fire off the Export A List To Ascii function from a batch job, feeding it the list generated from the scan in the previous step. Can QP_ASCII be controlled by a batch file? If so, where are the parameters kept and what are the command line switches? Thanks! Eric
