in Datastream
I want to get the name of datatype following datastreamDSWS help but in vain.
My code: ds.get_data(tickers='@AAPL';, fields='WC08311',retname=True)
Error message:
The argument shall be there I suppose.
Can you please advise alternative way if available?

You can use the suffix (|N) instead. For example:
ds.get_data(tickers='@AAPL|N';, fields=['WC08311'])
The output is:

Hi @frank.ling1,
It appears to be a bug in the library. The parameter retName is listed in the documentation and the get_data function uses it as well, but it is not defined as one of the arguments to the library function call - which is why you are getting this error.
def get_data(self, tickers, fields=None, start='', end='', freq='', kind=1):
I will raise this bug with Refinitiv Support.
