Hello, I use the RBloomberg package to retrieve price data for securities. Sometimes (unfortunately this is not reproducible, so "sometimes" is the key word), one of the many calls to blpGetData triggers an error with very little info: <checkErrorInfo> 80020009 No support for InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo Error: Exception occurred. Unfortunately, this error is not easily reproducible - after initializing the connection the same call with the same arguments usually succeeds. If anybody has encountered similar behaviour in the past, and has discovered a workaround, it would be very much appreciated.
