Get second Symbols last days close

[holtey]

How can I get a second Symbols (not current Symbol) previous days daily close in main funcition?

I try e.g. for SPY (being not current symbol):

var indexclose = close(-1, 1, sym ("SPY"),inv ("D"));

This just gives me the previous days daily close for the current symbol and not for SPY.

Can anybody help? Thanks!
