Hi, I would like to ask how I can use the history() function from the Bloomberg Open API to get an entire futures curve on a particular date. I have been able to download the curve available as of today (by e.g. calling getdata(conn, 'CL1 COMB Comdty', 'FUT_CHAIN') ) but when I try calling the equivalent security in the historical dataset, I get an empty array as output from e.g. history(conn, 'CL1 COMB Comdty', 'FUT_CHAIN',StartDate,EndDate). Bloomberg help tells me that in Excel, I can get the entire curve for a specific date by calling e.g. =BDS("CL1 COMB Comdty", "FUT_CHAIN", "CHAIN_DATE = 20141006"), so the data exists and there should be an equivalent way to reach the data via Matlab.
Thanks, Juraj
