If you were loading all the Australian, New York and London Equities into one directory you would experience problems with equities that share the same Exchange Code. For example: BHP Billiton is traded on the ASX and the NYSE under the code: BHP. This would mean that you would only have one BHP file in your directory and it would contain the data for the last Exchange that was updated. In this situation it is preferable to have 2 separate BHP files that can be easily recognisable.

Example: In this example we have a Ascii distribution that currently filters the ASX and NYSE Equities data into the one directory. Now we are going to edit the AsciiCsv format so it contains a suffix for each of these markets.

1. Open BodhiGold.
2. Click the Configure button.
3. Make sure AsciiCsv is selected then right-click on the word. The Configure AsciiCsv box will appear.
4. In the Modify Symbol with section, place a tick in Suffix.
   

5. Click the Edit button. A Word Processor will open containing a AsciiCsv.ini file. This file will contain two headings: Prefix and Suffix.
6. For this to work we must first enter the three letter Exchange code followed by an equal sign then followed by the suffix we want to be appended to the code. For a list of Exchange codes used in BodhiGold, click here and refer to the Code column in the Product List table.
7. As we are only filtering two exchanges under the Suffix heading, enter the following:
   ASX=_ASX
   NYS=_NYS
   Then go to File>Save then File>Exit to close the Word Processor.
   

8. When you next do a Catchup, your data files for BHP will have changed. Instead of having only one file: BHP.csv you will now have two files: BHP_ASX.csv and BHP_NYS.csv. This guarantees that you know which file you are looking at and that it will always contain the correct data.
