How to schedule extraction with decimal settings

Nowshad

I have a Client that is using the DSS API. However, the RIC's that they are using (ex; JPYTHBBB=BKTH & JPYTHBBB1=BKTH) is providing 5-6 decimals in the Universal Close, Ask, and Bid Price fields. The client only wants to see 4 decimal places.

In the DSS GUI, we were able to change the decimal places for each field, and was able to get the exact prices. For their production, they need to go through the API.

My questions are:

1. In the API script, can you include decimal preferences for each field?

2. If not, if the report template has the necessary changes to the fields, can the API run that report template ID? IF so, what would be the header and script?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

1. The on-demand extractions don't support decimal preferences for each field. The clients can set the decimal preferences when creating report templates and then use the created report templates with the scheduling extractions
2. You can use the created report templates to perform the scheduling extractions via the DSS REST API. Please refer to the REST API Tutorial 10: GUI control calls: immediate extract tutorial.
