Hi,
I'm trying to enter a scheduled transaction for the monthly interest on
an IRA account. I've right clicked on a previous interest entry and
clicked on Schedule. Whenever I try to enter what the documentation says
is the correct formula, I receive an error.
The formula comes from the gnucash documentation (which isn't terribly
clear but I figured this out):
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Scheduled_Transactions#Bank_Account_Interest
The formula I'm using is this, the error is triggered with the exact
same text as in the example in the wiki
computeInterestIncrement( 5000.00 : 0.03125 : 12 : i )
"computeInterestIncrement" is the correct formula name, which I
confirmed in the fin.scm file. (The documentation really could stand to
point out *where* this file is).
When I click OK on the editor this is the error I receive (where
Interest account is the text I added in the split):
Couldn't parse credit formula for split "Interest account"
After doing some searching through the web & mailing list archives, I
didn't find anything useful. There don't appear to be any bugs related
to this error in bugzilla. Am I doing this right or do I need to do
something different? Is this a bug? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
