Here's a simple but time consuming workaround allowing Amibroker to read 2020 EOD data until your vendor starts sending data in the correct format.


    Open a daily EOD data file in a simple text editing program (not Word).

    Select and copy date segment from one of the ticker lines. For example Jan 2, 2020 will look like this200102. 200110. Fridays data

    Go to menu "Find and Change" or similar.

    Enter find: 190819

    Enter change to: 20200110

    Press "Change All" or similar

    Save

    All date events for every ticker in the daily EOD file are now in correct format.

    Repeat this for each daily file.

    Complain to your data provider to supply data in four digit format for the year.

notepad++ is free  and ok for this to work  you need to replace 190819 with this 20200110 this works with comsec data save file and install with wizard this hint was taken from here https://forum.amibroker.com/ i have no problems from Norgate date
