i have recently installed the old version of TradeStation, the 2000i and i am not able
to find both functions/reserved words

Array_GetMaxIndex
Array_SetMaxIndex

they do not seem to be a reserved word or function in this version of TradeStation.

i would apreciate it if anyone here could post both functions as text or let me know
if there is another way to reduce the number of index places inside an array after they
have been verified. i could program the Array_GetMaxIndex myself but i am not sure how
to handle the other one

they are keywords, not functions.

how to get around it and still be able to increase or decrease the amount of indexplaces
inside an existing array,
is my observation correct that they did not exist yet in ts2ki version?

it does have the functions NthHighest_A and others but i am trying to find
the place where the second largest or N-largest number is stored inside an existing array
not the number itself but the indexplace.

does this TS version have any other way to find the amount of values stored in an
array?

lets say i have an array which has stored 50 values, then i am using NthHighestArray( MyArray, 50, 3 ) to find
the 3th highest number in that array.this 3th highest number i would like to change in another number, therefore i do need to know the
place where this 3th highest number is stored in order to be able to change it.

depending on your time value of money...
MultiCharts might be cheaper



or is it the money value of your time

another platform is not an option, i am not here to discuss what software to use but rather
to find out how to solve this in this old ts version.

i have used another easy language compatible software which i am not using anymore for various reasons up till last month and this was a pretty easy task,
i find it hard to believe it cant be done even in an older version of tradestation.

if you do not see another way how i could do what i would like to do in this version of
ts just let me know.

I guess if you really try... GV might help.
otherwise hashnum or pushpop?

[flyingdutchmen]

gv = Global Variables ?

tought i keep you updated.

i have found solutions for both isues, finding out where exactly the n-highest
or n-lowest value is stored wasnt to hard.i have codet an function to do the work.
no need for multi-charts or any other software

i now am able to change the N-highest value within an array
MyArray[ IndexOfNHighestArray( MyArray, N, ArraySize ) ] = anything;

i believe i even found a tricky way to decrease or increase the indices within an
existing array, this one i am still working on.

if there is any interest from other 2000i users i will post the scripts later on
