       * SAS code to implement our recommended solutions for Daily TAQ (DTAQ) and Monthly TAQ (MTAQ): Code  <== Updated for the new Nanosecond timestamps!
       * This SAS code runs in the WRDS Cloud (or on a PC) to obtain DTAQ or MTAQ data for firms and dates that you specify, cleans the data, computes the complete NBBO, and computes standard liquidity measures.
       * Our article points out, the “NBBO” file in DTAQ is incomplete by itself. So our DTAQ code combines both the “NBBO” and “Quote” files to compute the official complete NBBO.
       * Our article finds that there are three different types of errors in the MTAQ. Our MTAQ code implements our recommended clean-up steps to fix the MTAQ data as best as possible.
