cannot add a comma before the year

[damienchallet]

Hi

I need to have references in the following format: Bansal, R., and A. Yaron, 2004, Risks for the Long Run [...]

Thus, I have set

% The string before year only for aritcle type entry.
%
FUNCTION {bst.year.pre}
{ ", " }
% { " (" } % (default)

Yet, the output lacks the comma before the year, for example

Vuong, Q. H. 1989, Likelihood ratio tests

This seems to be a bug.

Thanks for your help

I should add that the following works

FUNCTION {bst.year.pre}
{ ",, " }
% { " (" } % (default)

Hi

The alternative solution may be that you change the definition of bst.author.post to the following,

FUNCTION {bst.author.post}
{ "," }
% { "" } % (default)

If you find other problems, let me know.
