In the new datastream online database. I am getting an error when trying to fetch IBES data into eviews: Date.Start is invalid/ Example date formats are 2012-11-24 (or) -4M (or) one of DSDatesNames (Date.Start)
Hi @erik.franco
We have a new version of the EDX file which you will need to install that resolves this IBES issue. if you email me directly paul.bacon@refinitiv.com i can send to you today or alternativly it will be on the download section of this site early next week.
Regards
Paul
I am not able to replicate the issue in EViews. Can you please give example instrument?
Hi Monika,
As for the IBES problem. Again this is in eviews.
Below is the code I used to fetch the data.
------------------------
wfcreate(wf = "",page = "monthly") m 2019 2019
fetch(d=datastream,c=l)@:M3WRLD(a12pe)
Im looking into this and will confirm.
