[GNC] Get online quote for Canada Fund

[Kaman Wu]

Hello Ove,

Thanks for reply my question.  I did try "1743".  Still get the same error
message.   I really need solve the problem, otherwise, I have to manually
input the price for all funds I have.


PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin> perl .\gnc-fq-dump -v fundlibrary
1743
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: 1743 (deduced)       <=== required

      last:                      <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional
