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.

PS: I had sent the above mail to the R-SIG Finance list on SEP 29, but it
was not even posted there for some unknown reason.
