Hi,

I just installed RBloomberg to setup a script that pulls dividend data from
bbg.  It works well, except on data that is supposed to be returned as a
date.  After talking to bbg, I'm reasonably sure the data IS being returned
to R, but it is not being cast correctly.  Anyone know how to fix or adapt
RBloomberg?

Here are examples:
> t2 <- blpGetData(conn, c("HAL Equity"), "DVD_EX_DT")
Warning message:
In as.matrix.BlpCOMReturn(x) : NAs introduced by coercion
> t2
           DVD_EX_DT
HAL EQUITY      <NA>
> t3 <- blpGetData(conn, c("HAL Equity"), "DVD_SH_LAST")
> t3
           DVD_SH_LAST
HAL EQUITY        0.09

Thanks,
John
