XMLGetBasicQuote PrevClose value problem

[mstennicke]

Hi All,

Had anybody experienced a problem with received PrevClose value from XMLGetBasicQuote? It seems that for international futures it gives a garbage value.
For example, for instrument HSI 1!-HKF (Hang Seng) I get the following values:
sAsk=15400,
sBid=15398,
sLast=15398,
sOpen=15407,
sHigh=15451,
sLow=15366,
sChange=35,
sPrevclose=8.3177332804915e-308

Besides looking as a float, Prevclose has a totally wrong value. And I can see it is the same value of 8.3177332804915e-308 for all international futures that I get data for!!! For instruments from American exchanges the value is correct, which can mean that the problem is with eSignal and not with my code.

I am using eSignal 7.91 (Build 738)

Thanks,
Michael.

I have had the same problem (floating point, erroneous values) when getting data about US equities and options.
