RBloomberg
Hello - Could someone please tell me if it is possible to keep a data subscription open when making a bdp call when using RBloomberg (i.e. constantly updated real-time prices)? For example,
library(RBloomberg)
Loading required package: rJava
conn <- blpConnect()
R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30) rJava Version 0.9-3 RBloomberg Version 0.4-150 Java environment initialized successfully. Looking for most recent blpapi3.jar file... Adding C:\blp\API\APIv3\JavaAPI\v3.5.1.1\lib\blpapi3.jar to Java classpath Bloomberg API Version 3.5.1.1
conn
[1] "Java-Object{org.findata.blpwrapper.Connection at 187955b}"
bdp(conn, "IBM US EQUITY", "LAST_PRICE")
LAST_PRICE
IBM US EQUITY 161.2
I would like the bdp call to remain open or subscribed to constantly
update, as it does when executing the code =BDP("IBM EQUITY","LAST PRICE")
in Excel.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Larry
