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

[David Reiner]

Bloomberg allows going only so far in the past for intraday data
(50 trading days, I thought, although your query works for any date after 2001-09-11.)

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()

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
