Export to CSV file

Cleanup database
Launches the script that allows you to find non-traded stocks in the database. The script automatically scans the database and checks the latest quote date. If it is old enough, the script will display a warning message and lets you decide whether the stock should be deleted. Additionally, the script can generate a list of "old" stocks and save it to a text file. Detailed information is available in the 05-2000 issue of the newsletter.
