Hi, you are probably using an older kdb version. You can download the newest version from [kx.com](http://kx.com)

Hi guys,
Is there any way I could come to a website like this: [https://www.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/ismreport/mfgrob.cfm?SSO=1](https://www.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/ismreport/mfgrob.cfm?SSO=1) and pull out first 5 rows from the “MANUFACTURING AT A GLANCE” table on that website?
Or from WallStreet Journal website
Regards, VA
