The ASX sector data stops about June 2002, why hasn't the data been updating.

The ASX now uses a new standard called Global Indices Classification Standard (GICS), which means the market is categorised differently from the old familiar ASX system. The 12 new GICS sector indices have replaced the 24 ASX sector indices as of July 2002, you will find the data for these indices in the "Trading Data\Stocks\ASX\Indices" folder, the new codes are easily identified as they all end in the letter J eg XSJ.
