axlRefreshSymbol not working on symbol name

Experts,

 Below is my code to refresh symbols when passing the symbol name they return nil.

mysymbol_list = list( "0402" "0603")

foreach( sym  mysymbol_list

 axlDBIgnoreFixed(t) ref_status = axlRefreshSymbol(sym )

when(  !ref_status printf( "%s not refreshed\n" sym))

axlDBIgnoreFixed(nil)

)

 

 the help syntax do have the parameter to pass symbol name

axlRefreshSymbol(t_symName/o_SymDef[g_options] )

 Please advice.

Thanks,

Nagaraj

    Try changing your When statement to an Unless statement:

    unless(  ref_status printf( "%s not refreshed\n" sym))

    The returned information is a dbid or nil so using !ref_status won't work.
