| SPAN(r) Advisory #02-16 November 8, 2002 NQLX SPAN FILES & PC-SPAN ORGANIZATION MASTER FILE
We have published an updated PC-SPAN Organization Master file with data for Nasdaq Liffe Markets LLC (NQLX), which started trading today. The file is at:
ftp.cme.com/pub/span/util/orgmast.exe It has some data changes reflecting the most up-to-date definitions for NQLX, and has a timestamp on it of 16:30 on November 8th on the FTP site. When you run it to extract the "orgmast.mst" file within, that file has a timestamp of 10:22. If you downloaded the previous version of the Organization Master file, please replace it with the updated one. As previously announced, NQLX SPAN files are available through OCC, and in addition will be available on the CME FTP site at: ftp.cme.com/pub/span/data/nqx The NQLX files will be in the "expanded unpacked" format and will be named using the updated naming convention for SPAN files. A sample file for November 4th is out there now. The file is named, nqlx.20021104.s.pa2, indicating that it is for NQLX, that it is for business date November 4th 2002, that it is for the final end of day settlement, and that it is in the expanded unpacked format. This file is contained inside an analogously named zip file: nqlx.20021104.s.pa2.zip. NQLX's Web site is at www.nqlx.com. For more information about the use of SPAN by NQLX, please contact Bill Boyk at NQLX at 312- 553-4811, or bill.boyk@nqlx.com. ############################################################### |
