Hi Geoff,
I am still not getting all my stocks retrieved inside GnuCash but I may
have made some progress.
I checked the stocks not working using gnc-fq-dump and they all
retrieved except for one I still had that had been de-listed, so that is
as expected, but does not explain why they don't work inside GnuCash.
I retrieved them all in one call to gnc-fq-dump and I noticed there was
an error message at the start. After a little more digging I found just
one stock was causing that problem as follows:
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin> perl gnc-fq-dump ASX 14D
Use of uninitialized value in transliteration (tr///) at
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote/ASX.pm line 141.
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: 14D <=== required
date: 10/16/2020 <=== recommended
currency: AUD <=== required
last: 0.145 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 0.145 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>
It may be that having a stock symbol starting with a number is causing
the problem, but it still retrieves OK. It did occur to me that,
depending on the order that GnuCash does the retrieving internally, that
error may make the program think there are no valid values after that
message and explain why some of the stocks are missing in the results.
Best regards,
John Bonnett

Hi Geoff,
I seem to have partly solved my problem. Following up on a comment
from Bill and your interest in the version of Perl I was running, I
chased up a recent version of Strawberry Perl.
I got v5.32.0 64bit and installed that. It still thought I had the
older 32bit installed so I tried uninstalling that. This broke the
64bit install, so I repaired it and then ran the "Install Online Price
Retrieval for GnuCash" option on the Windows GnuCash menu. This got
the standard installation back. I then followed your original
instructions about replacing ASX.pm and ran your check as follows:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin"
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin> perl gnc-fq-dump ASX BHP
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: BHP <=== required
date: 10/15/2020 <=== recommended
currency: AUD <=== required
last: 36.77 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 36.77 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>
I then tried running "Get Quotes" from inside GnuCash and it seems to
have partly worked. Some of my ASX stocks are still not retrieving but
others are. I will investigate using gnc-fq-dump and report back.
Thanks for your help,
John Bonnett
