DL yields n/a

[Arborbridge]

HYPTUSS is returning many n/a forecast yields making it necessary to manually calculate and insert them. The fault seems to lie with DL which does not have forecasts in the usual place for these shares - e.gs BP, Lloyds, Aviva, BLND, BT and many others.

I thought this worth mentioning in case I am alone in finding this to be so. Apologies if this been covered already, but I cannot find it mentioned.

Which version of HYPTUSS are you using, Arb?

For the past year or so, it shows the forecast yield if it is available. If not, it shows the latest yield highlighted in red. Displaying n/a is very rare.

For sure, DL has a lot of holes in its data over the past week or so.

Hi Kiloran,
Thanks for the quick response.
I'm using 11.1. Functionally, this was fine for me so I did not download the later updates. The yields downloaded OK until yesterday: although being away for a while I hadn't run it between 19th July and yesterday.

The fault does seem to be with DL, but I wonder why no one else has commented.

I see now!

I had a quick glance at the "flaky" thread but it though the discussion was about values being incorrectly calculated rather than n/a.

Let's hope the glitch at DL is fixed before long.

Which reminded me - you were quite correct in that it was my old version, opened inadvertently, that threw up the N/A results. The latest version is doing exactly as you described.

The latest version is doing exactly as you described.

Having downloaded 11.3 - Yes, it does - BP, for example in red. There's a quite a few that will be in red until DL sorts itself out:)

I fired a message off to Digital Look to ask them what's going on. I've also saved a copy of the current web page for the FTSE100 to compare with future data.

Kiloran,

Thanks. We wait and hope!

The FTSE100 at Digital Look shows 25% of the companies have n/a instead of valid forecasts. Nothing has changed over the past 2 weeks.

I fired a message off to DL a couple of weeks ago and have not had a reply, so I've sent a reminder.

Thanks. Maybe they are short of staff to reply - holidays? The persistent lack of forecasts worrying. Difficult to know if it's a change of policy to get rid of them little by little, staff shortages or faulty software.
