Segregating Futures and Options while expanding chain of chain

Hi,

While expanding Chain of chains in datascope (say 1TY+:) it includes all
options as well as futures. Is there a way to exclude futures from this ric
chain or shall we just use this ric chain i.e. 1TY+: to cover both futures and
options for 1TY contract.

Thanks

    When expanding a chain, DSS will return all RICs in that chain. It doesn't have an option to filter RICs according to instrument types.

    To do this, you can use Historical Criteria Search instead. In this search, you can specify the required RICs by using a "Equals", "Contains", "Starts With", or "Ends With" condition. Then, you can specify other criteria, such as Instrument Types, and Expiry Date. For example, you can select (Treasury Debt) Futures Option to get only options.
