Dex2Mgr instrument list and display parameters

put_InstrumentIDList - what can be passed to this function? Is it possible to ask for all instruments starting with "A*" or ending with "*.COL" ?

put_DisplayParam - Is there any manual of possible display parameters? C++ example has RH:In CH:Fd - what do they mean?

Thanks.

    Refer to the Developer's Guide, InstrumentIDList contains single or multiple instruments to be used in an RData request. Commas or semi-colons are used as
    field separators. It doesn't support wildcards.

    For DisplayParam, you can also refer to the Developer's Guide or Thomson Reuters Eikon - Microsoft Office Help page in Display Parameters for RData at PARAMETERS > PARAMETERS BY FUNCTION > RDATA PARAMETERS (FOR LEGACY DATA).

    For example:

    • RH:In means that instruments are used as row headers (Reuters Instrument Codes are known as RICs)
    • RH:Fd means that fields are used as row headers. If you display Fd as the row header, Thomson Reuters Eikon - Microsoft Office displays the field label for both real-time and fundamental fields
    • RH:D means that dates are used as row headers
