Hi R,

 

The below are commands used in extracting Bloomberg data. Let T1,
T2,...T5 be a set of actual tickers

 

Ticker_list<-c(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5)

con<-blpConnect(show.days=show_day, na.action=na_action,
periodicity=periodicity)

cdaily<-blpGetData(con,Ticker_list,"EQY_SH_OUT",start=as.chron(as.Date("
1/1/1996", "%m/%d/%Y")),end=as.chron(as.Date("2/12/2007", "%m/%d/%Y")))

blpDisconnect(con)

 

If the data itself is not present for this combination of fields,
ticker_list and the date range, then what would RBloomberg do is it
throws a zoo object with 0 rows. Can this be modified so that we get the
complete rows (say 3000 rows) filled with blanks? I think RBloomberg
developers can help me better in this case... Other's ideas are also
welcome...

 

 

Thanks in advance

Shubha
