rd.get_history and rd.get_data comparison

Greetings,

I am in the process of developing an algorithm designed to extract specific dates and associated closing prices related to delistings, bankruptcies, or private transitions of publicly traded entities. Currently, I am encountering difficulties with the functionalities of rd.get_history and rd.get_data.

Below, I will present the complete code for your review. Following that, I will elaborate on the issues I am facing in greater detail.

Full code:

I am encountering an issue with the process_bankruptcy_cases function, specifically with comparing the "RetireDate" to the date when "Bankruptcy Flag" is set to true. The challenge arises because some records contain a Bankruptcy Date without a corresponding RetireDate, and vice versa, others have a RetireDate but lack a Bankruptcy Date. Despite attempting various methodologies, I have yet to achieve success. This discrepancy hampers my ability to accurately compare the Bankruptcy Date of one record with the RetireDate of another. For determining the Bankruptcy Date, we reference the historical date of the 'TR.MnAHasBankruptcy' field when its status changes to true.

The intended logic is as follows: If 'TR.MnAHasBankruptcy' equals true, we ascertain whether any of the records possess a RetireDate. If so, we compare this RetireDate with the date on which 'TR.MnAHasBankruptcy' became true. Should the RetireDate precede the Bankruptcy Date, we then retrieve the closing price on the RetireDate. Otherwise, we obtain the closing price one day prior to the Bankruptcy Date.

The primary issue lies in devising a method to effectively compare the RetireDate with the date when 'TR.MnAHasBankruptcy' is true.

Using this syntaxis we can print which RICs have ReitreDate and which have Bankruptcy Date.

Thank you reaching out to us.

Normally Developer Community Forum is for how-to/general questions but your question seems to be more complex and requires investigation e.g. review source code and verify the content.

You may contact your LSEG account team or sales team directly and ask for the professional service. The professional service group can review the source code or help you implementing the solution with an additional cost.

I checked the code and found that you are using the TR.RetireDate and TR.MNAHASBANKRUPTCY fields. These fields don't support time-series data which means they don't support the SDate and EDate parameter. Moreover, they are in the different categories. You can refer to the Data Item Browser tool for the fields' descriptions and their supported parameters.

For example, the TR.MNAHASBANKRUPTCY field is in the Mergers & Acquisitions category and its definition is Yes/No flag set to 'Y' when the target company is bankrupt or goes bankrupt during the transaction. The TR.RetireDate field is in the Reference & Identifiers category and its definition is quote retire date.

Typically, it value relates to the fields' values within the same category.

You may need to contact the helpdesk team via MyRefinitiv to verify how these fields can't be used to support your use cases.
