6 naz symbols are giving both my daily EOD processor and your demo socket history application fits.

CGNX CHIC IDEV IDTI PGNX PLAB

I've been connecting to the 156.xxx farm. Retrieving daily info for one day. IQConnect version 4.2.1.4.

Sometimes my app just hangs, and sometimes (most of the time now), a runtime library popup from IQConnect.exe says:

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Then, after dismissing that message, an exception is thrown: 0x40000015 @ 0x78134664.

Your demo app always gets the popup error message.

Sometimes after stopping (or sometimes killing) my app, IQConnect won't respond to user input and has to be process killed.

A run to retrieve 1 minutebar data for all naz symbols appears to have run without problem (I haven't crunched the data yet).

There is definately something wrong with the data.

For CHIC for example, 11/14/06 is listed numerous times, with bogus data. This is the case for pretty much all of these. I am not having the problem of IQFeed crashing due to this however (running the DTN.IQ client app). My guess is the sample app and your app are having the same problem handling the data and/or multiple records with the same date. The DTN.IQ app doesn't have a setting to specify only one day, so maybe the server is even returning extra garbage because the 1 day is listed numerous times. Hard to say, but we will obviously need to look into what is going on with the historical data processor....

Thanks for checking into this.

1. a small clarification: it looks like no data is ever returned to my app from IQConnect. IQConnect either remains silent forever or thows the funny popup message and the exception.

2. I've also discovered that 5 other symbols claim there is no data, when there really should be. My trace:

I have verified and reported all of these to our server team...I will post again once this has been resolved

This data has been fixed.

Our server team believes they have identified the cause of the problem and a solution in currently being tested. It will take a few days of testing to verify that the solution works before we can put this on our production servers. Until then, please continue to report any "bad" symbols here and I will have them fixed manually.

Thanks,
