Syntax

d = factorgroups(c)

Description

d = factorgroups(c) returns factor group information using the IHS Markit^® connection.

Examples

Retrieve Factor Groups

Using an IHS Markit connection, retrieve factor groups.

Create an IHS Markit connection using your user name and password.

username = 'ABCDEF';
password = 'ABC123';
c = ihsmarkitrs(username,password)

c = 

  ihsmarkitrs with properties:

    Username: 'ABCDEF'
     TimeOut: 100

c is an ihsmarkitrs object with the Username and TimeOut properties. The appearance of the ihsmarkitrs object indicates a successful connection. The Username property contains your IHS Markit user name. The TimeOut property specifies waiting for a maximum of 100 seconds to return factor group data before canceling the request.

Retrieve factor group data using the IHS Markit connection. d is a table that contains factor group information.

d = factorgroups(c);

Display the first few rows of factor group data.
