Yes, you can request UCTS data that was created outside of MATLAB. Note, however, that you cannot create UCTS data from MATLAB.
Here are the steps you would follow:
1. Create a UCTS with EXCEL TSCACMOD and then request it as below.
Note: the UCTS must be created with the same Datastream id (red)
2. Do not forget to add ~# (green) before!
At the command line in MATLAB, do the following:
>> Connected = datastream('DS:XDSM16','xxxxx','Datastream','<http://dataworks.thomson.com/Dataworks/Enterprise/1.0'>)
Connected =
user: 'DS:XDSM16'
password: '*******'
datasource: 'Datastream'
endpoint: '<http://dataworks.thomson.com/Dataworks/Enterprise/1.0/webserviceclient.asmx'>
wsdl: '<http://dataworks.thomson.com/Dataworks/Enterprise/1.0/webserviceclient.asmx?WSDL'>
>> a = fetch(Connected, 'TSCACMOD~#XDSM16')
a =
Source: 'Datastream'
Instrument: 'TSCACMOD~#XDSM169'
StatusType: 'Connected'
StatusCode: '0'
StatusMessage: ''
CCY: 'E'
DATE: {262x1 cell}
DISPNAME: 'TSCACMOD'
FREQUENCY: 'D'
P: {262x1 cell}
