Dave,
The news is good.
The csi number only get appended to stocks if one exports
inactives. If inactives are exported the csi number gets
appended to all stocks.
However, I maintain TWO csi databases in AB.
The one for trading only has actives and only has data for
1 year. CSI numbers do not clutter up these active tickers.
My "research" database has inactives so that is where I
need the help sorting stocks.
