Hi R, Please solve my problem........... I am extracting Bloomberg data from R, in a loop. R is getting fatigued by doing this process and gives some errors. I introduced sleep function.

It worked perfectly until I had to reinstall the RBloomberg

Hello I'm working with a bunch of time series data. The data are downloaded from a server and stored as ascii files prior to reading them into R.
