Using Specific Format with Batch "Data Import ASCII"

The command lines for AmiQuote are documented in the ReadMe2.html files that comes with the installation in the same folder of the application. You can read it also selecting the "Read Me" item from the "Help" menu item of AmiQuote.

In that document only 3 parameters are listed:

From version 1.61:
/download - triggers automatic download on start
/close - causes automatic close of AmiQuote after download
From version 1.20:
/autoupdate - this option forces AmiQuote to perform automatic update procedure without user intervention

(In a similar way, also the command line options for AmiBroker are documented in its ReadMe.html file. For more see this)

Personally, I prefer to use a .js script (switching databases, data sources, and date range) to control AmiQuote.
I launch it every day from the Windows Scheduler, but for sure it is possible to use a similar script also invoking it from and ExecuteAndWait AB's batch command.
