Peter, this is not a bug.  The problem is that you do not have this symbol
in your DATA MANAGER.  This is the icon the takes you to the Dial Data data
manager.  You must create the symbols for your commodities in that symbol
universe.  This was explained in the Jul/Aug 97 issue of TS Express.
Furthermore it included a piece of code that allowed you to create a list to
identify what 2 letter symbol correlated to what commodity.  For instance
you will find that U6 is the Japanese Yen and Y3 is the Swiss Franc.
