I am running Mathematica 10.3. I get "notDate" errors when including any date information in any format to the FinancialData function. I've copied these examples straight from the help notebook:
In[50]:= FinancialData["GE", "Jan. 1, 2000"]
During evaluation of In[50]:= FinancialData::notdate: Jan. 1, 2000 is not a valid date range for FinancialData. >>
Out[50]= FinancialData["GE", "Jan. 1, 2000"]
Various other date formats are no better
In[22]:= FinancialData["WMT", "Volume", {{2015, 8, 1}, {2015, 10, 31}}]
During evaluation of In[22]:= FinancialData::notdate: {{2015,8,1},{2015,10,31}} is not a valid date range for FinancialData. >>
Out[22]= FinancialData["WMT", "Volume", {{2015, 8, 1}, {2015, 10, 31}}]
What is the problem?
