[R-SIG-Finance] Problems using blp function

[Ana Nelson]

Hi, Anna,

Can you check if the equivalent query works in Excel using the Bloomberg Excel add-in?

Also can you try it with the DVD_HIST field instead of DVD_HIST_WITH_AMT_STATUS?

Regards,
Ana

Hello, I want to retrieve the historical amount of the dividends plus their declaration date using the following code:
library(RBloomberg)
conn<-blpConnect(na.action="na")
divs<-blp(conn,"ABT UN Equity","DVD_HIST_WITH_AMT_STATUS") but it returns me the following error:
 and I get that error:
Error in blpSubscribe(conn, securities, fields, override_fields, overrides) : 
  Call to BLPSubscribe did not return any data!
