Duplicate prices for called or expired instruments

It appears that the behaviour for called bonds or expired futures has changed. I have started to receive multiple duplicate values.

For example the Lloyds 13 Bond (RIC GB040862072=) which has redeemed earlier this year returned an array of duplicate prices. It appears to have returned the final trading price as a result for each date in the time period which I requested prices for. This appears to be new behaviour because previously once a bond or future expired a null response was received.

Please can you advise what the correct behaviour should be so that I can adjust my error handling accordingly.

    hi @gwade ,

    This forum is more for programming-type queries, rather than content queries such as this one. I would recommend you to contact the Eikon support team directly via MyRefinitiv.

    However, for this case, case number 11151091 has been raised to a content specialist team to clarify the content. I'll keep you updated

    Hope this could help
