I looked into 'LS&PCOMP ' on Datastream, it looks to be a list of constituents.
Looking for 'Datastream for R' online, I found the repo for the library 'DatastreamDSWS2R' that I'm guessing you are using. There, it suggests using the 'listRequest' function for constituent list requests. I tried the bellow which worked:
mynames <- mydsws$listRequest(instrument = c("LS&PCOMP"), requestDate="0D")
Does this return the results you expected?
Thank you @jonathan.legrand ! This works well. One the list is retrieved, this is long so it seems I have to loop over blocks of it or get an error message when using $timeSeriesListRequest, but this is fine I guess. Thanks again !
