Danilo,

What version of RBloomberg are you using with R 2.12? You can find
this out with a call to sessionInfo().
It is probably an old version that didn't use the Java version of the
Bloomberg API. If that is the case, you will need to upgrade (using
WAPI<GO>, as in my other message) and install the rJava package.

Should I wait for more days or something I did wrong? I also encountered the same issue for Rcompression package from omegahat.com. Thank you for your kindly reply.
