Error downloading data with BatchGetSymbols

General
1

There is an error message appearing with BatchGetSymbols when trying to download data for some symbols from Yahoo Finance, namely: "Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format".

This occurs after running BatchGetSymbols command with following parameters:
tmp <- BatchGetSymbols(tickers="ENLK", first.date = as.Date("2015-01-01"), last.date = Sys.Date())

In this case, I'm getting errors when downloading for following symbols ENLK & DM. Yahoo Finance only has historical data for these stocks ending on Jan 25, 2019, but we're now on Feb 3, 2019 so an entire week of data is missing from Yahoo Finance. It would appear that BatchGetSymbols is struggling to handle stocks with missing data. Are there some suggestions how to resolve the issue?

Thanks in advance
