BDS not downloading sometimes #41

Closed IgnacioAnguita closed 3 years ago

IgnacioAnguita commented 3 years ago

Hi,

When I run the following command:

blp.bds(ISIN + " Corp", "ASW_CASHFLOWS")

In most cases it works properly (a bit slow), however in some specific cases (some custom bonds) I get empty dataframes:

Empty DataFrame Columns: [] Index: []

These custom bonds work properly on excel.

I have tried with multiple fields as well as bds/bdp and although they work on excel they do not when using the library. Also I have tested multiple custom bonds and they all work perfectly fine. Is it possible that it needs some specific fields to be informed?

Should be a connection issue - use timeout to wait for a bit longer: for example bds(..., timeout=5000) to wait for 5 seconds.
