setfield

Set content of a specific field

Syntax

newfts = setfield(tsobj, field, V)
newfts = setfield(tsobj, field, {dates}, V)

Description

setfield treats the contents of fields in a time series object (tsobj) as fields in a structure.

newfts = setfield(tsobj, field, V) sets the contents of the specified field to the value V. This is equivalent to the syntax S.field = V.

newfts = setfield(tsobj, field, {dates}, V) sets the contents of the specified field for the specified dates. dates can be individual cells of date strings or a cell of a date string range using the :: operator, e.g.,
'03/01/99::03/31/99'.

Example

load dji30short 
oldfieldnames = fieldnames(myfts1) 
myfts1 = setfield(myfts1, 'Dividend', 0.025); 
newfieldnames = fieldnames(myfts1)
