[R-SIG-Finance] RBloomberg: Error in process.result(result, "first.column")

[Scott.Lyden at instinet.com]

Hi, folks.

First,  I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the many people on this
list who have contributed so much to R.

I've been using RBloomberg happily for a few weeks now. Today, with no
change in my environment that I'm aware of, I've encountered a strange
error.

The following self-contained example reproduces the error at will in my
environment ...

library(RBloomberg)
conn<-blpConnect()
d81<-"2011-11-01"
sTime<-"00:00:00.000"
eTime<-"23:59:00.000"
barLen<-"60"
# works ...
bar(conn, "TD CN Equity", "BID", paste(d81,sTime), paste(d81,eTime),
barLen)
# change date ...
d81<-"2011-06-01"
# Error in process.result(result, "first.column") : subscript out of
bounds ...
bar(conn, "TD CN Equity", "BID", paste(d81,sTime), paste(d81,eTime),
barLen)


> sessionInfo()
R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08)

attached base packages:

other attached packages:
[1] RBloomberg_0.4-150 rJava_0.9-2

[1] tools_2.13.1


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
