Hello Mr. Janeczko,

I understand that your suggestion will create a new security file. Further, in one of your previous posts you had suggested that OHLCV etc. fields of a security file can not be modified by AFL (to maintain data integrity). If I remember it right, you had suggested that OHLC etc can be modified by ASCII import and COM. I understand that AUX1 and AUX2 of a security will also behave the same way. Am I right?

So, as per your sugestion we will have a separate security. Is it so?

Your reply will help understand the things clearly.

With Regards

Sanjiv Bansal
