Hello all, especially Jack who wrote the package!!!.
I run gretl2020d on Windows (I think last version of them).
Also I installed yahoo_get 3.0
When running yahoo_get.gfn sample script I get two "errors"
(1) It does not find the redhat ticker
? series redhat = yahoo_price("RHT") # get Red Hat, adjusted price only
Ticker RHT not found
Generated series redhat (ID 1)
(2) it does not fill non-existent ticker with NAs (if that's the
expected function here). I get the following
? series foo = yahoo_price("ZZZ") # a non-existent ticker will give
NAs An error occurred when 'outfile' was active jsonget: failed to match
JsonPath *** error in function json2csv, line 1
> dates = strsplit(jsonget(jsonbuf, "$.chart.result[0].timestamp[*]"),
"\n")
called by function write_tempfile called by function yahoo_price
Error executing script: halting
> series foo = yahoo_price("ZZZ") # a non-existent ticker will give NAs
Thanks Yiannis, I'll try to fix the package asap.
