API retrieving weird/wrong data for BOPr.AT

Hi,

I am retrieving a total number of shares outstanding for BOPr.AT both via Excel and via API. In Excel, I use "=@RData(A2:A25;"RCA.S.Outstanding";;;"CH:Fd")" to get the correct value. This however, does not work in API and hence I need to use, for example, 'TR.F.ComShrOutsTot', which returns incorrect values.

Do you know where the issue is? And how to emulate RCA.S.Outstanding in Eikon API?

Please try the TR.SharesOutstanding field.

df, err = ek.get_data(['BOPr.AT','IBM.N'],['TR.SharesOutstanding'])
df

This field represents the issue-level outstanding shares.

The output is:

The values are equal to the values returned from the RData function.

@havlin So you can use the Data Item Browser App (type DIB in Eikon search bar) to see different fields available:

What number is RCA.S.Outstanding returning? I do know there have been some events on this issue the stock was split into old and new I believe. There are a number of this type of field available and some fields may calculate things in a slightly different manner. I hope this can help. If you still believe there is an error in the number you can always raise a content query in Contact Us.
