I think you just need to add retval="raw" to your blpGetData call, and
then you'll need to parse out what you need:
> res <- blpGetData(conn, "ES1 Index", "CRNCY", retval="raw")
> res[[1]][[1]]
[1] "USD"
If I recall correctly, blpGetData does some conversions otherwise.

Hi guys
Using blpConnect and blpGetData
I never managed to download static data for example the name of a
security
or its Currency.
conn <- blpConnect(iface = "COM", na.action = "bloomberg.handles",
periodicity = "daily")
res <- blpGetData(conn, "ES1 Index", "CRNCY" , bla, bla ......)
Any ideas? Anyone has done this before?
Thanks
