Canadian Mutual Fund Quotes

[Doug Brown]

   Thanks Andew.
   I am using gnc 2.2.4, and as I used install-fq-mods.bat to install
   Finance::Quote yesterday, had assumed I had the current version of fq.
   Wrong; it turns out I had fq 1.12, so I upgraded to the latest version
   of fq, v 1.13.
   All works tickety-boo now.
   Thanks again.
   d.

   I am trying to get Canadian mutual fund quotes working, but have been
   unsuccessful. I found a couple posts in this list's archives from
   people have the same trouble, but no answers.
   I'm on WinXP, my quote system is working OK, and I can retrieve quotes
   of US stocks. I have tried all manner of permutations, but nothing
   works. For example, and effort to get a Mawer quote:
   C:\Program Files\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump canadamutual MAW107
   No results found for stock MAW107.
   I am thinking I need a magical format of the ticker, but can't figure
   out what it should be.
   Any help would be appreciated.
   Doug.


You didn't mention the version of perl/fq/gnucash you're using;

For what it's worth, your example works for me:



gnc-fq-dump canadamutual MAW107


Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: MAW107               <=== required
      date: 03/12/2008           <=== required
  currency: CAD                  <=== required
      last: 37.9502              <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price: 37.9502              <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional

This is on opensuse 10.3/perl 5.8.8/gnucash 2.2.2/perl-finance-quote 1.13-7.
