[ts-gen] Trouble with new syntax for stocks

[Paolo Volpato]

Hello Bill,

just installed the most recent shim version here (Ubuntu 8.04)
yesterday to give the new syntax a try for retrieving historical
stock data.
However, the old syntax (introduced with shim-090227) keeps
doing well while the new one only leads to "Syntax error"
messages.

The following lines are a copy (stdout) of a trial to dump
historical data of german stock Metro (MEO) routed at
Xetra (IBIS). First I dumped the data with the "old" syntax
(worked well), then I tried the new syntax for the same stock
and route...

          The trading shim has connected to the database server
          and loaded 51651 products; connected to the IB tws as
          client id  1; and queried for the account code, which
          seems to be XX99999.  Program initialization has been
          completed.

I wonder what went wrong here.
Any hints are welcome.
