Missing fields for some ric codes
Hi,
I am trying to get fields(DSPLY_NAME and TRADE_DATE) for some of the instruments from Reuters.
For instance for Ric code “CIDKK6MD=” it should be „CIBOR DKK 6MD” but when I am calling reuters api “DSPLY_NAME” is not returned.
The problem does not exist for RICs types like CHFFIX=ST, JPYFIX=ST, etc.
Below you can see the list of fields for “CIDKK6MD=”. “DSPLY_NAME” is missing. It is output from StarterConsumer example.
[ 1] PROD_PERM 5126
[ 2] RDNDISPLAY 153
[ 4] RDN_EXCHID CPH (68)
[ 6] TRDPRC_1 -0.2667
[ 15] CURRENCY DKK (208)
[ 22] BID -0.2667
[ 23] BID_1 -0.2633
[ 24] BID_2 -0.2633
[ 53] TRD_UNITS 4DP (4)
[ 259] RECORDTYPE 241
[ 393] PRIMACT_1 -0.2667
[ 394] PRIMACT_2 -0.2633
[ 395] PRIMACT_3 -0.2633
[ 728] BCAST_REF "M-(EUR DK)"
[ 831] CTBTR_1 "DKK"
[ 836] CTB_LOC1 "COP"
[ 875] VALUE_DT1 4/21/2020
[ 876] VALUE_DT2 4/20/2020
[ 877] VALUE_DT3 4/20/2020
[ 995] GEN_TEXT16 "23/04/20"
[ 1001] GV2_TEXT "DKK"
[ 1003] GV4_TEXT "2W"
[ 1010] VALUE_TS1 9:0:4
[ 1011] VALUE_TS2 13:0:1
[ 1012] VALUE_TS3 9:0:4
[ 1080] PREF_DISP

[ 5357] CONTEXT_ID 3210
[ 6401] DDS_DSO_ID 12403
[ 6480] SPS_SP_RIC ".[SPSEBFL1"
Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi @artx
As mentioned the RFA API just returns the data it gets from the server - I have tried other realtime APIs and they also do not return DSPLY_NAME field either - which means that field is not available from the realtime feed/service that you are consuming from.
The RtGet method is part of the Eikon Excel interface and Eikon has access to other (non-realtime) data sources - which could explain why you can get the 'DISPLAY NAME" using RtGet.
Hi @artx
The RFA API will pass to you whatever data (fields etc) it receives from the server. If a field is missing then this would be because it is not available for that particular RIC
I have subscribed to the above RIC with our desktop application Eikon as well as another API and can confirm that DSPLY_NAME is not present in the payload for CIDKK6MD=
If you believe this to be incorrect or require an explanation as to why it is not available, then I recommend you raise an 'I believe content is incorrect or incomplete' type Ticket from MyRefinitiv and a Content specialist will be able to assist.
Thanks for the quick answer. That's what I was afraid. We have another existing solution where we use excel formulas to get reuters data and =RtGet("IDN","CIDKK6MD=","DISPLAY NAME") formula returns the value so I am wondering why we can't see this in RFA API. Do you have any idea?
