Field	Contents
`version`	Financial time series object version.
`desc`	Description of the time series object (`tsobj.desc`).
`freq`	Numeric representation of the time series data frequency (`tsobj.freq`). See `freqstr` for list of numeric frequencies and what they represent.

Examples

Convert the supplied file disney.dat into a financial time series object named dis:

dis = ascii2fts('disney.dat', 1, 3);

Now use ftsinfo to obtain information about dis:

ftsinfo(dis)

 FINTS version:   2.0
   Description:  Walt Disney Company (DIS)					
     Frequency:  Unknown
    Start date:  29-Mar-1996
      End date:  29-Mar-1999
  Series names:  OPEN
                 HIGH
                 LOW
                 CLOSE
                 VOLUME
     # of data:  782
   # of series:  5

Then, executing

infodis = ftsinfo(dis)

creates the structure infodis containing the values

infodis = 

            ver: '2.0'
           desc: 'Walt Disney Company (DIS)'
           freq: 0
      startdate: '29-Mar-1996'
        enddate: '29-Mar-1999'
    seriesnames: {5x1 cell}
          ndata: 782
        nseries: 5
