hi folks,

just hoping someone could help me find the option needed to request
semi-annual data in a bdh call in rbbg.
I have tried the below with no success.
S,SEMI-ANNUALLY, SEMI-ANNUAL, SEMIANNUAL, SEMIANNUALLY
sample code below.

thanks very much!
Aidan.

sample code:
conn <- blpConnect()
o_names = c("periodicitySelection")
o_values = c('S')#doesn't work
tickers<-'"0701477d ln equity'
start.date <- as.Date("1jan1980", "%d%b%Y")
end.date <- as.Date("1jan2014", "%d%b%Y")
d<-bdh(conn, tickers, fields, start.date,end.date,option_names = o_names,
option_values = o_values)
Error in .jcall("RJavaTools", "Ljava/lang/Object;", "invokeMethod", cl,  :
  com.bloomberglp.blpapi.InvalidConversionException: Cannot convert String
to Enumeration
