Overview
LIM databases have historically contained symbols fed from the
Gas Daily and Megawatt Daily publications formerly owned by
Pasha Inc. and then bought by FT Energy which itself was
acquired by Platts in 2001. During 2001 and 2002, Platts created
their own symbols for Gas Daily and Megawatt Daily using their
existing symbol methodology. In December of 2004, Platts stopped
updating the Megawatt Daily feed using the "Pasha" symbols. On
March 1, 2005 they stopped updating the Gas Daily Pasha
symbols. On May 2, 2005,
LIM will remove the Pasha symbols and categories to avoid
duplication in our database.
Pasha to Platts
Spreadsheet
To ease the transition, LIM has mapped the Megawatt Daily and
Gas Daily Pasha symbols to Platts symbols and has continued to
feed them from the equivalent Platts symbols since December. LIM
stopped updating the Pasha symbols for Megawatt Daily and Gas
Daily on March 1, 2005. Customers therefore need to
transition analysis and applications using the "Pasha" symbols
and categories.
LIM has posted a Pasha to Platts map on the website at:
http://www.lim.com/menu/symbolmap/ftcolumns.xls
to assist in converting to
the Platts codes. This link is also listed on the
"Energy Publications/Symbol Mapping"
page (Data>Energy
Publications/Symbol Mapping) on the LIM website
(www.lim.com):
Examples
The following
examples
show how to look up old Pasha symbols and categories and replace
them with the new Platt's symbol and category equivalents from
the supplied spreadsheet.
(http://www.lim.com/menu/symbolmap/ftcolumns.xls).
These examples
use the MIMIC application.
Date of Removal
On
May 2, 2005,
LIM will remove the Pasha
symbols and categories to avoid duplication in our database.
If you have any questions or concerns about the removal of Pasha
updates and symbols, please contact LIM Support at
support@lim.com.
