Hi,
I've been playing around with trying to get quotes working for
TIAA-CREF accounts which (for me at least) don't seem to be working
with the 1.5.x series. When I run
echo '(tiaacref "TIAAreal")' | finance-quote-helper
I get:
(("TIAAreal" (symbol . "TIAAreal") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2001-04-27
00:00:00") (last . failed-conversion) (currency . "USD")))
Originally I thought this might be a problem with Finance::Quote, but
its demo script, stockdump works fine on this security. Looking a
little deeper I think I found the problem area in f-q-h:
$field = 'last';
$data = schemify_num($$quotehash{$itemname, $field});
$quotedata .= " ($field . $data)";
but Tiaacref.pm and several other of the reporting mechanisms don't
return 'last', so if I change the first line above to 'price' or 'nav'
f-q-h returns a closing price.
I don't honestly know which is preferable -- NAV or price with regards
to other securities. (Tiaacref only returns 1 number so they will
always be equal). I also don't know how this is reflected back in
gnucash if the values were actually loaded, or if they would be refused
without a 'last' -- I didn't try.
