has.Op(x, which = FALSE)
has.Hi(x, which = FALSE)
has.Lo(x, which = FALSE)

has.Vo(x, which = FALSE)
has.Ad(x, which = FALSE)

Arguments

Value

• A logical value indicating success or failure by default.

  If which=TRUE, a numeric value representing the column position will be returned.

  is.OHLC return a single value of TRUE or FALSE.

Details

Mostly used internally by quantmod, they can be useful for checking whether a non quantmod.OHLC object can be used in OHLC requiring functions like Op, OpCl, etc.

Columns names must contain the full description of data, that is, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume or Adjusted. Abbreviations will return FALSE (or NA when which=TRUE). See quantmod.OHLC for details of quantmod naming conventions.

is.OHLC will only return TRUE is there are columns for Open, High, Low and Close. Additional columns will not affect the value.
