bds: Run 'Bloomberg Data Set' Queries

In Rblpapi: R Interface to 'Bloomberg'

Run 'Bloomberg Data Set' Queries

Description

This function uses the Bloomberg API to retrieve 'bds' (Bloomberg Data Set) queries

Usage

bds(security, field, options = NULL, overrides = NULL, verbose = FALSE,
  identity = defaultAuthentication(), con = defaultConnection(),
  simplify = getOption("blpSimplify", TRUE))

Arguments

security	A character value with a single security symbol in Bloomberg notation.
field	A character string with a single Bloomberg query field.
options	An optional named character vector with option values. Each field must have both a name (designating the option being set) as well as a value.
overrides	An optional named character vector with override values. Each field must have both a name (designating the override being set) as well as a value.
verbose	A boolean indicating whether verbose operation is desired, defaults to ‘FALSE’
identity	An optional identity object as created by a blpAuthenticate call, and retrived via the internal function defaultAuthentication.
con	A connection object as created by a blpConnect call, and retrieved via the internal function defaultConnection.
simplify	A boolean indicating whether result objects that are one element lists should be altered to returned just the single inner object. Defaults to the value of the ‘blpSimplify’ option, with a fallback of ‘TRUE’ if unset ensuring prior behavior is maintained.

Value

A data frame object with the requested data set.
