Hi Tim, Hmm...I did think of that before posting, so I checked the names in QP Charting's search feature and they appeared to be truncated there too. Plus, some of the names in AB are longer as shown at the top of this pic so I don't think AB is truncating them - in AB I am just using the AddColumn() function to add the FullName(). Could you possibly post a pic of what you are seeing? Thanks for the reply!

What is producing the list? If it is an AFL script, perhaps the column formula is doing the truncation.

That is due any day now.

It seems that many of the names have their ends truncated so what's left looks exactly the same for many ETF's from the same families, for example look at the names of all the ProShares, some of the Powershares, Rydex funds, SPDR's, etc. As is, I can't tell what they are unless I google each ticker which can get old pretty quickly. 8 - ) Thank you!
