Patrick....
Any chance you could just whip up a date handling dll? (I know you and Marilyn aren't at all busy :lol: ) (whip up - as if it just happens in a jiffy!)
I was thinking something along the lines of:
function(firstDate, lastDate)
and/or
function(periodsAgo,periodUnits)
and/or
anything else you might see fit to include!
This would help people doing 52wk highs and lows, last traded dates (although Richard Dale's product does this also), compute changes date-to-date instead of bar-to-bar etc....
Just a thought....
wabbit :D

:) Wabbit is using the whip more than me lately! :smt079
I happen to know that, since his first successful dll, Patrick has been spending his free time with his nose in his computer.... his immutable plans to take over the world via dll's is firmly in place. :)

He whipped (pun intended!) up the first one so quickly! Thought he might be on a roll, and could get this one done lickity-split too!
LOL

So when write:
ExtFml("ForumDll.DateChange", "FirstDate","LastDate","Array")
It computes the changes of the array beetween the dates?
Or am I misunderstanding the use ....
Sorry it's early and I'm confused :D
Patrick :mrgreen:

This function is done : function(firstDate, lastDate)
here is what it would look like :
FirstDate:=20050101; {YYYYMMDD}
LastDate:=20050301;
ExtFml("ForumDll.DateRange", FirstDate, LastDate)
It plots a 1 when data is in range ...
More later this evening after more testing.

Patrick, don't forget the all-important variable-to-static dll.
If you persist in coding MetaStock dll functions that can be easily be replicated in MFL, I'll have to get the whip out too. :)

Jose I do the easy stuff first as I'm learning, but I promise I put just as much effort (if not more ) into the constant function as I do for anything else.
no whip please 8-[ :D

Hi wabbit... Yeah - keep it! I will send you an email stating that we sent you the wrong software and that you can transfer the license once to someone as part of your group. Does that work???
