Hello,

I can fetch most of the Fred data, however there seems to be a problem with the nonfarm payroll employment (PAYEMS) data. I use the following code:

c = fred;
FredData = fetch(c, 'PAYEMS');

However I get the following error:

_Attempted to access j(1); index out of bounds because numel(j)=0.
Error in fred/fetch (line 76)
    tmpfld = x{i}(1:j(1)-1);_

I do not understand why because when I fetch data such as INDPRO, it works.

I would appreciate your input.

Thank you in advance,

The error is due to non-standard structure of the PAYEMS Notes. Please find attached fetch1 function, which you can use to download PAYEMS.
