Hi,
I tried the following script:
set echo off
set messages off
# sample function call
nulldata 1800
setobs 5 2008-01-01 # a daily dataset should be already in place
loop foreach a RHT TKA
string ausgabe = "Aktie " ~ "$a"
print ausgabe
series "$a"
$a = yahoo_price($a)
endloop
As you might guess, the idea is to download a couple of time series from yahoo.
Each series should receive the name of the stock.
However, apart from the fact that it is not working (I am happy to get help here, too),
I get the following error message:
set messages off
> # sample function call
nulldata 1800
Sorry, this command is not available in loop mode
Error executing script: halting
nulldata 1800
But I am not in loop mode! And the command "nulldate" is not in the loop!
To me, it seems that the loop is not finished when an error is raised.
When you want to replicate the error, you might need to comment out $a = yahoo_price($a),
run it and then
remove the # and run again. Then again, comment out, run, remove the comment, run. The
respective
error message appears only every second run.
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards,
Thorsten
