Danilo,
I've managed to get RBloomberg working on R2.14 by downloading and installing the new Bloomberg Desktop v3 API SDK. The version of the Bloomberg API I have now is 3.4.3.2. Try with that, and it might work for you as well?
Cheers,
Murali

Hi John!
Below you can find the details about my R-2.12.1. There everything seems to work fine.
I am also sending you a screenshot of my R-2.14.0, where I downloaded the latest versions of Rbloomberg and rJava. However there it does not work. I am sorry I do not completely understand your advice about WAPI <GO> and upgrade: shoud I download and install a new "Bloomberg Desktop v3 API SDK"?

Many thanks!

Danilo

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.

John

However, I received message to indicate that the package "is not avaiable (for R version 2.14.0)". 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.
