Change data series name

chfield is not recommended. Use timetable instead. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects fints to Timetables.

Syntax

newfts = chfield(oldfts,oldname,newname)

Description

example

newfts = chfield(oldfts,oldname,newname) changes the name of the financial time series object component from oldname to newname.

Set newfts = oldfts to change the name of an existing component without changing the name of the financial time series object.

To change the names of several components at once, specify the series of old and new component names in corresponding column cell arrays.

You cannot change the names of the object components desc, freq, and dates.

  1. Create a fints object.

     f = fints((today:today+1)', [4 -2 1; 9  5 7])
    Warning: FINTS will be removed in a future release. Use TIMETABLE instead. 
> In fints (line 165) 
Warning: FINTS will be removed in a future release. Use TIMETABLE instead. 
> In fints/display (line 66) 
 
f = 
 
    desc:  (none)
    freq:  Unknown (0)

    'dates:  (2)'    'series1:  (2)'    'series2:  (2)'    'series3:  (2)'
    '02-Oct-2017'    [            4]    [           -2]    [            1]
    '03-Oct-2017'    [            9]    [            5]    [            7]

  2. Change a data series name using chfield.

    newfts = chfield(f,'series2','series2A')
    newfts = 
 
    desc:  (none)
    freq:  Unknown (0)

    {'dates:  (2)'}    {'series1:  (2)'}    {'series2A:  (2)'}    {'series3:  (2)'}
    {'03-Sep-2021'}    {[            4]}    {[            -2]}    {[            1]}
    {'04-Sep-2021'}    {[            9]}    {[             5]}    {[            7]}
