Syntax
Description

= fieldsearch(c
,f

with the Bloomberg® Server C++ interface and search term f
.
Examples
Retrieve Information for Last Price Field
Create a Bloomberg connection, and then retrieve information for the last price field.
Connect to the Bloomberg Server using the IP address of the machine running the Bloomberg Server. This example uses the Bloomberg Server C++ interface and assumes the following:
The Bloomberg UUID is
12345678
.The IP address for the machine running the Bloomberg Server is
'111.11.11.111'
.
c
is a bloombergServer
object.
uuid = 12345678;
ipaddress = '111.11.11.111';
c = bloombergServer(uuid,ipaddress);
Return data as a table by setting the DataReturnFormat
property of the bloombergServer
object. If you do not set
this property, the fieldsearch
function returns data as a
cell array.
c.DataReturnFormat = 'table';
Return information for the search term
LAST_PRICE
.
f = 'LAST_PRICE';
d = fieldsearch(c,f);
Display the first three rows of the field information in
d
.
