You're probably using an old version of the IQFeed client (IQConnect), version 6.0 or older - these versions used fewer parameters (the IncludePartialDatapoint parameter was added in client version 6.1). Simply install the latest IQFeed client and this problem will probably be resolved.

It's not the version of the IQFeed client that dictates what iteration of the API you get. Each time you connect to a port, you must send a S,SET PROTOCOL command. If you don't, the IQFeed API defaults to the oldest protocol, 4.9. The format of API commands and responses can vary in different protocols. Altmany is correct that IncludePartialDatapoint was added in protocol 6.1. If you include it in an older protocol, the API will respond that you are using the "wrong" number of parameters, because you're sending more than it expects. Send the S,SET PROTOCOL 6.1 command and you will get a response S,CURRENT PROTOCOL,6.1. Then your HWX/HMX command will work correctly.
The version of the IQConnect client has nothing to do with the API protocol, except that you can only specify a protocol that is equal to or older than your client software. You can't request protocol 6.2 unless you are using version 6.2 of the client software, for example. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist |

Hi Stephen, Yair, Gary,
Thanks very much for your help - setting the protocol to 6.1 to match the client version has done the trick! Much appreciated, nick |
