Does bdh() function retrieve intra-daily history at this moment? #299

By digging into 'Pull historical intraday data from Bloomberg with R' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46429930/pull-historical-intraday-data-from-bloomberg-with-r, I already know that 'barsz' or 'bartp' couldn't be specified in bdh() function. This related question in this attached link was answered two years ago, and when I tried =BDH("ABLX BB EQUITY","OPEN","06/01/17 09:00","06/30/17 09:05","recurdaily=true","barsz=5","bartp=B") I still got the same issue. Does it mean bdh() function still doesn't retrieve intra-daily history at this moment?

Thanks.

No, bdh is for daily (or lower frequency) historical data. As Dirk says in the SO link, if you want intraday bars use getBars.
