[R-SIG-Finance] R in batch mode - RBloomberg

[Matteo Fornasier]

Hi,
thanks for your reply. For the first point I check but I think I've to
check better!

For the second point here's the error:

Feb 8, 2011 8:39:31 PM org.findata.blpwrapper.Connection
processSessionStatusEvent
WARNING: SessionConnectionUp = {
    server = localhost/127.0.0.1:8194
}

Kindly,

Matteo
