Hi there, How are you? I'm having some issues with the following set up:
WINDOWS XP R-2.7.2 RBloomberg-0.1-10 RDCOMClient-0.92-0 zoo-1.5-4 chron-2.3-24 Bloomberg is installed in the machine. The following code crashes R: library(RBloomberg) .bbfields <- blpReadFields('C:\\path\\to\\blp\\API') conn <- blpConnect( ) I investigated the problem using debug(blpConnect) and found out that the code dies at the following line of the blpConnect function: conn[["Timeout"]] <<- timeout; The above problem occurs whether Bloomberg is running or not, whether the market is open or not. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards, gopi.
