Description

This list is a supporting attribute for the DateAlignment properties of the DSTimeSeriesRequestObject and DSTimeSeriesResponseObjects. When you supply monthly, quarterly or annual data, the dates are stored internally as the first day of the given period and always returned to you through this interface as the first date of the given period. However, when your users request data from Datastream, you can specify whether the dates returned to users are returned with dates set as the start, mid or end of the requested period
