[R-SIG-Finance] RBloomberg update on "Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : 'dimnames' applied to non-array"

[Ben Hurh]

Hello, 

I also had trouble getting RBloomberg to work, so I tried several different
versions of R. This was the winnign combination:
*
R 2.12.2 (from CRAN)
rJava 0.8-8 (simple install.packages("rJava") once R 2.12.2 is
installed/running)
RBloomberg (from findata)*

Now,

/My Question:/  Does anyone know of any other methods of input for
securities? I am working mostly with bonds, and there are a few
inconsistencies, for example:

bdp(bb,"AES 8 10/15/17 Corp", "RTG MOODY")

^call for AES bond with 8% coupon and 10/15/17 maturity works, however:

bdp(bb,"AES 9 3/4 04/15/16 Corp", "RTG MOODY")

^call for AES bond with 9.75 % coup with 04/15/16 maturity does not work,
while:

bdp(bb,"AES 9 3/404/15/16 Corp", "RTG MOODY")

^call for same bond--but with no space between coupon and maturity--works.
