TR_Field params syntax

vlscout
vlscout Explorer
in Eikon Data APIs

what's wrong with my assumed syntax here?

fields = ek.TR_Field('TR.BSPeriodEndDate(IncludePartial=No)', {'Period': 'FI-1'})

as after this, get_data throws an error.

Thank you

    solved it.

    You can enter parameters in 2 different ways.

    either

    fields = ek.TR_Field('TR.BSPeriodEndDate', {'Period': 'FI-1','IncludePartial': 'No'})

    or

    fields = ek.TR_Field('TR.BSPeriodEndDate(Period=FI-1,IncludePartial=No)')

    BUT you cannot match the two...

    QUESTION: Why was the syntax for the function created in such a way? Are there any params that require one way or the other? thank you
