[R-SIG-Finance] sudden problem with RBloomberg

[Sergey Goriatchev]

Hello everyone

I run R 2.10 (also, R 2.7.2) with RBloomberg 0.1-10
I cannot run new java-based RBloomberg due to local restrictions.

This morning I get a sudden problem with RBloomberg:

------------------------
> conn <- blpConnect(show.days="week", na.action="previous.days", periodicity="daily")

> bldata <- blpGetData(conn, signal.tickers, "PX_LAST", start=start.date, end=end.date, retval="zoo")

> conn <- blpConnect(show.days="trading", na.action="previous.days", periodicity="daily")

> ty1.csize <- blpGetData(conn,  "TY1 Comdty", "FUT_CONT_SIZE", retval="raw")[[1]][[1]] #USD

Error: Exception occurred.

> gc1.cvalue <- blpGetData(conn, "GC1 Comdty", "CONTRACT_VALUE", start=as.chron(Sys.Date()-5), end=as.chron(Sys.Date()), retval="zoo")

Warning message:
In as.matrix.BlpCOMReturn(x) : NAs introduced by coercion

> gi1.cvalue <- blpGetData(conn, "GI1 Index",  "CONTRACT_VALUE", start=as.chron(Sys.Date()-5), end=as.chron(Sys.Date()), retval="zoo")

Warning message:
In as.matrix.BlpCOMReturn(x) : NAs introduced by coercion

> es1.cvalue <- blpGetData(conn, "ES1 Index",  "CONTRACT_VALUE", start=as.chron(Sys.Date()-5), end=as.chron(Sys.Date()), retval="zoo")
Warning message:
In as.matrix.BlpCOMReturn(x) : NAs introduced by coercion

> blpDisconnect(conn)
---------------------------

I don't know what is going on, in particular the first "Error:
Exception occured" is new to me. I tried restart R, different versions
of R, feeding line by line, nothing helps.

Anyone has an inkling what the problem is caused by?

Best,
Sergey
