14:41:03 <Arcturius> How does one process a negative invoice or bill?
14:47:56 <fell> accounting doesn't know negative numbers. ;)
14:49:42 <fell> there could be a cancellation of aprevious paper or a rebate, bonus, ...

15:58:48 <andi5> hi fell :)
16:00:23 <andi5> are you capable of reproducing #553902 ? i also wonder whether edgar really used "A0GFY.SG" as commodity symbol, i.e. without the "7", but i do not want to sound too nit-picking =)
16:03:10 <fell> One question is: who is using which version?
16:03:29 <andi5> i used version 2.2.6 as specified
16:04:11 <fell> and yohoo patch or not?
16:04:28 <andi5> stock finance-quote 1.13, i think
16:04:48 <andi5> i do not know what yohoo is
16:04:54 <andi5> and what that patch is about to do
16:04:57 <fell> yahoo
16:05:02 <andi5> ok :)
16:05:29 <andi5> if that is a patch against gnucash, then we should probably apply it (or not)
16:05:31 <fell> base.pm line 63? remove d1
16:06:33 <andi5> shall i really do that? is that an accepted but not yet released patch?
16:06:51 <andi5> i do not understand why i need to patch base utils/libs to produce a "gnucash" bug
16:06:52 <andi5> ...
16:07:15 <fell> https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-de/2008-September/006380.html
16:08:45 <andi5> but i can see those prices.... maybe i could try a german locale
16:10:37 <fell> Oh, interesting. and which yahoo.com or europe?
16:11:25 <andi5> ah...
16:11:50 <andi5> lemme see
16:13:22 <fell> finance.yahoo.de. 1800 IN CNAME rc.europe.yahoo-eu1.akadns.net.
16:14:45 <andi5> so t1 d1?
16:15:22 <fell> removing d1 worked for me.
16:15:27 <andi5> ok
16:15:51 <fell> t1 seems to be a datetime field
16:16:31 <andi5> now date is 00/00/2000
16:16:46 <andi5> and currency 24000 ... that is nonsense
16:17:48 <andi5> no, 24000 appeared when i leave d1 in .... but the date is still invalid
16:20:31 <andi5> ok... i removed "date" from FIELDS as well
16:22:00 <fell> @FIELD_ENCODING = qw/s n l1 t1 c1 p2 v b a p o m w e r r1 d y j1 q a2 c4/;
16:22:00 <gncbot> fell: Error: "FIELD_ENCODING" is not a valid command.
16:22:25 <fell> gncbot t, thanks!
16:22:25 <gncbot> fell: Error: "t," is not a valid command.
16:22:34 <andi5> that is what i have
16:23:25 <fell> that is the only change, i made to get yahoo_europe
16:23:57 <andi5> may you paste your FIELDS?
16:24:24 <fell> @FIELDS = qw/symbol name last time date net p_change volume bid ask
16:24:24 <fell> close open day_range year_range eps pe div_date div div_yield
16:24:24 <fell> cap ex_div avg_vol currency/;
16:24:24 <gncbot> fell: Error: "FIELDS" is not a valid command.
16:24:37 *** esperegu_ has quit IRC
16:25:51 <andi5> so you switched time and date fields?
16:26:02 <andi5> originally, it is "date time"
16:26:21 <andi5> but ok, that works here as well :)
16:27:18 <andi5> <gnc.pricedb> [add_price()] no currency.... somehow i think the patch is bogus... by i cannot tell you why yet
16:28:31 *** twunder has quit IRC
16:28:52 <fell> switching date & time was the debian patch, which was incomplete in that posting.
16:29:50 <fell> but which I used to explain reading a patch.
16:31:01 <andi5> i ... do not understand... i am not talking about d1 and t1, i really mean date and time
16:31:07 <fell> should they all step by step have done what I said, although I said in the middle, that the first part was no target leading?
16:31:40 <andi5> is david actively maintaining f::q?
16:32:30 <fell> I heard something, Ben would be now the manager.
16:33:21 <andi5> ok.... why do not they fix their software? i have not read all the threads, not at all, but so far i have only seen gnucash-de and debian bug discussions
16:34:06 <andi5> that is per se nothing but, but decentral :)
16:34:12 <andi5> bad, i mean
16:35:04 <andi5> ok, time to read some perl code (better not drink something, otherwise it may find its way out)

16:50:19 *** Zoolooc has joined #gnucash
16:55:37 *** ErKa has quit IRC
16:56:55 <andi5> interesting... fell, compare the output from $ echo '(yahoo "A0GFY7.SG")' | gnc-fq-helper to $ echo '(yahoo_europe "A0GFY7.SG")' | gnc-fq-helper
16:58:22 <andi5> btw, your patch breaks yahoo lookup, i think... so it probably should be solved differently, fields (or fields_encoding, does not matter) should be changed only for yahoo_europe
17:02:22 <fell> It was not intended to be the ultimate fix, because I expected a new fq release after 3/4 year (before every half year)
17:02:51 <andi5> yep, i understand
17:03:22 <andi5> i guess one can work-around this problem in bin/gnc-fq-helper, but that is perl again ;-)
17:05:58 <fell> should we rewrite it in java?
17:06:13 <andi5> lol
17:06:22 <andi5> no, i just need an rtrim function :)
17:24:06 <andi5> fell: add $info{$symbol,"currency"} =~ s/\s+$//; ... in F/Q/Y/Europe.pm, sub/yahoo_europe/foreach somewhere after "next"
17:39:28 <fell> Ok, nobody saw the trailing blank in gnc-fq-dump
17:40:08 <andi5> that is why i would propose to use the -helper script for definite answers :)
17:40:12 <andi5> it is the script we call
17:40:41 <fell> pls put it in the wiki ;)
17:40:59 <andi5> well, i knew that before, why help others? ;-)
17:41:23 <andi5> maybe i will, if you decide not to do it
17:42:10 <andi5> but today i will switch off my computer... that is symbolic, a few days ago i needed to run it till the mornings hours ;-)
17:42:33 <andi5> ciao fell!
17:42:56 <fell> I think, I update the wiki, you bugzilla and ml gnucash-de?
17:43:29 <fell> yes I saw your hard work. Nice weekend!
17:43:40 <andi5> i have closed the bug as NOTGNOME with a possible fix (no complete patch, the same as above)... i may write a mail tomorrow if nobody did it ;-)
17:43:49 <andi5> thanks!
