Hi all


I was looking for Yahoo symbols for some of the scrips. As advised here by some one Yahoo has adopted Symbols as that os NSE by adding .NS to the NSE symbol if NSE symbol is up to 9 characters and by trimming the last one character if 10 charecters. This is fine for most of the scrips except a few

ABAN.NS is not working
AMAR.NS should be for Amar Remedies but it gives data for Amaraja Batteries.
There may be a few more

As suggested here i also tried to look at all Yahoo symbols by quering with "*.NS" search. A long List appears. In this list there were 2 symbols for each scrip. One is as mentioned above and the second is having _a.NS in the end. Can anyone advise what is the purpose of this symbol. Is data shown by this the same as with .NS".

I also checked AMAR.NS and AMAR_a.NS here AMAR_a.ns show quote for Amar Remedies.

Seniors please guide if we can Use ABAN_a.NS for the valid quotes from Yahoo for ABAN OFFSHORE.

Thanks
Rajeev
