Try adding ret="raw" and leaving off start= since that is not supported for data set requests. You'll just have to format the returned nested lists yourself. Looking at the RBloomberg code should give you hints. (Also I think that field is deprecated - at least I can't find it in my version, but it still works for now.) HTH, David L.

However, blpGetData(conn, "IBM EQUITY", field="EQY_DVD_HIST_ALL", start=as.chron("1980-01-01")) doesn't work. It returns EQY_DVD_HIST_ALL (10/02/08 14:46:36) NA I have to used blpGetData(conn, "IBM EQUITY", "EQY_DVD_SH_12M_NET", start=as.chron("1980-01-01")) The second one only gives the sum of dividend from the previous 12 months. Anyone knows how to get the dividend histroy directly? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RBloomberg-to-get-dividend-tp19785331p19785331.htm l Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
