I use a 64 bit Windows operating system. Amibroker won't launch with the Quotes Plus plug-in which is 32 bit and not 64 bit. Is there a 64 bit version please?
I want to extract the exchange string (e.g. NYSE or NASDAQ) and I have only found Quotes Plus to offer this. Is there another way otherwise?
is it a one time task that you want to do ?
I want to be able to extract the exchange string for each symbol every time I run an exploration and include the string in the exploration results as a text column.
yes, but is it frequent or not? like all the time is what i meant.
As in you need a full-time 64 bit plugin?
==== because i dont understand the purpose =====
The below may or may not be relevant but:
As a quick fix, you can install the 32bit version of AB and access the plugin. You can also open the DB in question with the 32 bit instance.
Just make sure you take a backup of everything before you attempt to do so.
Also, ensure you open the DB only with 32bit OR 64bit
Backup registry and folders

I have no access to QP2, but Tomasz can shed light because it might be depending on a bundled 32-bit library -> qpdll.lib
He is the right person to give an accurate answer, i'm just guessing for a quick-fix
Quotes Plus is out of business for years, and they did not release 64 bit libs, so if you use them you need 32 bit version, but I don't know how you would use them when they don't ship any new data
Is there another way to obtain the exchange string ?
Exchange (aka "Market" in AmiBroker) is automatically setup for all symbols if you do Tools->Update US symbol lists and categories.
So I have tried the following code, but get an error
AddTextColumn( Market, "Market", 1.2, colorDefault, colorDefault );
Please do read AFL function reference. Don't guess functions. The function list is clearly defined in the guide AFL Function Reference and AFL Function Reference - MARKETID
