getstocks

Postby terrya » Fri Sep 24, 2010 5:57 pm

Hi
I've copied this program which works on another computer (which used XP) to a new one using Windows 7. When I ran it, I got the message that getstocks was either undefined or an illegal command. I use variants of the program to download numerous indices, all of which now give the same message. I can't see what the difference could be other than it might somehow be related to changed path differences between the two versions of Windows. I'm using the latest update to EV7.1.

Code: Select all

'change path %path = @runpath cd %path 'retrieve data getstocks(c, start = "2001/10/17", end="2010/12/31") ^aord ^axjo rename _aord_close aao rename _axjo_close asx200 save auscfsd.xls save auscfsd.wf1

getstocks is an add-in that has to be installed on each computer

It was installed but I just reinstalled it just in case that's what the problem was and the program now works. Perhaps I should reinstall all the other add-ins.

Thanks for the prompt.
