Stock quote can't be updated

[Mick Hartzell]

I am also having the same problem.

No stock quote update since 20 April 2017.

./gnc-fq-dump nyse -v prwcx
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: -v                   <=== required
      date: ** missing **        <=== recommended
  currency: ** missing **        <=== required
      last:                      <=\       
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional

** This stock quote cannot be used by GnuCash!

** This quote will have today's date, which might be incorrect.
   GnuCash will use it, but you might prefer that it doesn’t.



I changed source to be USA (Yahoo,…) and it made no difference.  Received the same error message.

NYSE is the "type", an extra field for your own use to help you organize your investments in the security and price editors. It does happen also to be a quote source; it is a special one in fact that checks multiple quote sources.
