Fixed: Compustat Global Index constituent bug

For the past month the search option for indexes in the Compustat Global Index Constituents database was suffering from an operational bug. The search option is called Code Lookup and is available at search step 2 through the WRDS search portal. The bug made it impossible to search for the index codes through Code Lookup. The WRDS development team has now reported that they fixed this bug. We have tested this and the bug looks indeed to be gone.

It is therefore possible again to lookup ticker and GVKEYX codes for indexes and sector indexes through Code Lookup.
