Re: [GNC] Quotes again?

Hi Dale/GNUCash users, 

If you do not trust the owners and/or maintainers of the software you
use to manage it for/with you, you may not want to use that software
over the long term. 

Linux Mint 21.3 was released in January 2024, so by not using the
current version, you are basically telling Clem/Linux Mint that all of
the work that he/they have done in the last 14 months is not valuable
enough to use.

Re: [GNC] Searching mailing lists

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Stan/GNUCash users, 

That Nabble link on that GNUCash mailing list search is still not
working for me - https://www.nabble.com/ 

If it does not work for others, should GNUCash contact Nabble for
support, remove that option, or something else?

Re: [GNC] Problems getting prices from Yahoo as JSON

[Kalpesh Patel]

Just to clarify: that will not install the one with Yahoo JSON patch to account 
for latest changes at Yahoo. That patch still needs to be installed manually as 
patch is yet to make it to the official releases.

If you have Unix/Linux then you can run following to get the official interim

executing each one) as mentioned by another user on this distro:



cd ~
wget https://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BP/BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.64_03.tar.gz
tar -xvf ./Finance-Quote-1.64_03.tar.gz

perl Makefile.PL

On Windows it should be:

On Unix/Linux it could be in many different places depending on how it was
installed. Try these:

/usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote
/usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/Finance/Quote

If not then use find utility to locate it on Unix/Linux or Mac OS'...

# find / -name YahooJSON.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote/YahooJSON.pm

[GNC] Voided Transactions

[Stanley Piorkowski]

I am using Windows 11 and GNU version 5.6, Build ID:5.6+(2024-03-30).

I am having a slight problem reconciling but it the process I made a report 
that covered my transactions for this year.  In the process of making this 
report, I found one voided transaction that is still showing on the report.  
I'm not sure why this is showing up with the original transaction amount but in 
the report, it doesn't show as voided.  Why is this?

[GNC] Finance::Quote sometimes returns stock prices in pence

[Adrian Holbrook]

There is a feature in YahooJSON.pm to convert quotes on the LSE in pence to 
pounds by dividing by 100. This works on the majority of quotes  but there are 
some that it does not work on such as NWG.L (Natwest) and NXR.L (Norcross). 
Looking at the file it appears that the division by 100 is applied if the stock 
currency is identified as GBp or GBX and then the currency is changed to GBP as 
well. So I assume that the currency on Yahoo is incorrectly identified as GBP 
for the two stocks above. I am not sure how to check this but if anyone can 
suggest a mod to correct it I would be grateful.

On Windows it should be:

 C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote

On Unix/Linux it could be in many different places depending on how it was
installed. Try these:

/usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote
/usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/Finance/Quote

If not then use find utility to locate it on Unix/Linux or Mac OS'...

# find / -name YahooJSON.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote/YahooJSON.pm
/usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/Finance/Quote/YahooJSON.pm

For flatpak, I am not sure how.

The one you had trouble with (and I did too, to answer your question --
DNS lookup failed) is a nabble link. As I recall, nabble was discussed a
few months ago, and I believe the consensus was that it was moribund.
People who use nabble to post to this list, or read it, have been
counseled to use email instead.

Stephen has described one way, I suggest another option.
Delete the 2024 scheduled transaction.
Enter in your checking account the 2025 version on the correct date in
January. Finalise the transaction with the enter key.
Now right click on the transaction and choose
"Schedule" which is three from the bottom.
Now edit this to monthly, and what other things you like in the
Scheduled Transactions editor screen, then save.

I'm not sure why this is showing up with the original transaction amount but in

How did you "void" the transaction? In other words, what do you mean? 
(process)


The formal process mimics the old days of pen and ink on paper in bound 
books so nothing once entered was ever removed. Instead a 
correction/offset transaction would be entered. Depending on the date 
done, I could see this happening (mistake made last year, corrected in 
this year.


If you followed informal practice and simply deleted the transaction, 
did you rerun the report after? Deleting the transaction would not 
change an open report.

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote sometimes returns stock prices in pence

[Adrian Holbrook]

Thanks for that. I think that the coding should work but there is probably an 
error on the Yahoo data where they probably identify the currency as GBP not as 
GBp. I am wondering if all the UK LSE stocks are quoted in pence but the 
currency identifier is sometimes incorrect - in which case it would be better 
to just use the first two letters "GB" to identify which stocks should be 
divided by 100?
 Could I test this by just changing the line:

 if ( ($info{$stocks,"currency"} eq "GBp")

To use a wild card instead of the "p"? Or is there a way to just test the first 
two characters?

There is a feature in YahooJSON.pm to convert quotes on the LSE in pence to
pounds by dividing by 100. This works on the majority of quotes  but there
are some that it does not work on such as NWG.L (Natwest) and NXR.L
(Norcross). Looking at the file it appears that the division by 100 is
applied if the stock currency is identified as GBp or GBX and then the
currency is changed to GBP as well. So I assume that the currency on Yahoo
is incorrectly identified as GBP for the two stocks above. I am not sure how
to check this but if anyone can suggest a mod to correct it I would be
grateful.

If you have Unix/Linux then you can run following to get the official interim

cd ~
wget https://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BP/BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.64_03.tar.gz
tar -xvf ./Finance-Quote-1.64_03.tar.gz
