    Hello @opsp ,

    I think you can find relevant information in RIC "RULES5" that lists rules for Futures.

    If you would like to look up RIC rules for other instrument types, use RIC "RULES" and drill down the decision tree.

    For other content questions such as this, the best solution for the customer is to contact Refinitiv content experts directly via Content Helpdesk Online:

    Hello @opsp ,

    Refinitiv Real Time service publishes RIC construction rules as RICs, including RULES5. It's a live reference table.

    To my knowledge, this information is not part of the content included with DSS product.

    If your organization has realtime service, you can access it as part of realtime service subscription.

    Otherwise, I would like to suggest contacting Refinitiv DSS content experts via Refinitiv Content Helpdesk Online, who should be able to best help you with the most relevant and up-to date information.
