: I have to admit the situation is more complex than I thought. I tried various situations today, before and after close of trading.

: When I tried to update a portfolio with only a few ticker codes, it mostly worked on plain vanilla (3 character) ticker codes, but sometimes not.

: When I tried to update big portfolios, some codes did not update ( examples: AKC CML CBA CPU NAB ORI PPT TAH TEL ). However when submitted as part of smaller portfolios, these mostly updated.

: Usually the first few codes in a portfolio updated, with problems arising later in the list.

: Ticker codes of the form XXXHX (income securities) never update -- as they once used to. Nor do codes like XXXGX. However XXXCX (instalment receipts) now seem to work, as do XXXDX (one form of preference share) or XXXPx (another form).

: I am a bit puzzled, but (a) I know that all the data are there somewher on the ASX site; and (b) it would be really nice to be able to get it in one go, or even two.

: Cheers

Hi Vince,
I added one of your sample tickers (AKC) to my sample portfolio that contains
10 investments. All investments updated okay. Maybe there is something
unique about your large portfolio that I'm not capturing in my tests. If you
would be willing to send us a portfolio with investments that can reproduce
a problem updating a supported symbol (non income securities) then we can
take a look to see what is happening with your data.

Thanks,
Mark
