You can't simultaneously use COM and Java. Rbbg only supports Java (as has been noted).
Why do you want to use the COM interface? Make sure you have correctly installed RBloomberg / Rbbg from findata.org Once it is installed, make sure you have your session correctly initialized: conn <- blpConnect() then try a request: bdp(conn,"ES1 Index","PX_LAST") if that doesn't work, can you please paste any error messages? thanks On 05/29/2012 01:32 AM, julien cuisinier wrote: > Juan, > > > No problem, I thik my point is that the blpConnect function does accept only > iface="Java" as argument, hhence trying iface="COM" you get the error msge > > Weird the help() does not work - did you have the RBloomberg package loaded > when trying the help(blpConnect)? > > May be you did not install the help file alongside R?
