Hi R,
The below are commands used in extracting Bloomberg data. Let T1,
T2,...T5 be a set of actual tickers
Ticker_list<-c(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5)
con<-blpConnect(show.days=show_day, na.action=na_action,
periodicity=periodicity)
cdaily<-blpGetData(con,Ticker_list,"EQY_SH_OUT",start=as.chron(as.Date("
1/1/1996",
"%m/%d/%Y")),end=as.chron(as.Date("2/12/2007",
"%m/%d/%Y")))
blpDisconnect(con)
If the data itself is not present for this combination of fields,
ticker_list and the date range, then what would RBloomberg do is it
throws a zoo object with 0 rows. Can this be modified so that we get the
complete rows (say 3000 rows) filled with blanks? I think RBloomberg
developers can help me better in this case... Other's ideas are also
welcome...
Thanks in advance
Shubha
