Hi,
I encountered a small problem when dowloading an annual IMF BoP dataset via the R plugin. When loading rdb(‘IMF’, ‘BOP’, mask = paste0(‘A…’,‘ILPDCB_BP6_USD’)) the observations for Cayman Islands (!) are messed up. The period is “2016-01-01,2017-01-01” and no value is shown (despite there being non-missing values in the original dataset). This happens with other codes as well (ILPDDC_BP6_USD, ILPDG_BP6_USD, ILPDO_BP6_USD).
Thanks,
Julia
Hi,
Indeed, when we do rdb('IMF/BOP/A.KY.ILPDCB_BP6_USD') we obtain a data frame with two values in the same cell (and two periods in the same cell too). We will investigate the problem and come back to you.
Hi @julia.schmidt,
Thanks for your message.
It was a bug in a non-exported function in the R plugin. I corrected it and now the four series you mentioned work !
The updated R package is on github and gitlab. I will publish it to CRAN tonight.
Meanwhile, if you need a Windows binary of the package for any version of R, tell me and I will send it to you.
