ADDENDUM: In the past, I've used the getHistoricalData2 function from
Bloomberg, but I'm not sure how to use that from R.

Thanks,
Ian

Hi, 

    Does anyone know of a simple way to prices in usd?   I can't see to
get blpGetData to take a parameter allowing me to specify the currency.

 

Thanks,

Ian
