Difference between TRDPRC_1.close and .close
Hi,
could you please explain the difference between TRDPRC_1.Close and simple .Close request field? I noticed, that TRDPRC_1 does not work for currencies, but works for indices. And simple .close works for both. Do I extract different data?
Example EURUSDFIXM=WM and .SPX
I am using RHistory API in VBA-Excel
Thank you!

Hello @aleksei.shvetsov,
Different exchanges and different instrument types carry different sets of fields.
As developer and Refinitiv Worspace/Eikon user, the quickest way to see
- Which fields are populated for a specific instrument
- And what values they carry
is Data Item Browser tool:
from my quick test, the two prices indeed differ
Often the description of the field is sufficient. However, in some cases, it is not sufficient, more in-depth information on content is required. In this case, the best approach for a customer is to open a content case on Refinitiv Helpdesk Online directly.
Hope this info helps?
