MATLAB: Does the Datafeed Toolbox crash when retrieveing Dutch equities from Bloomberg

Why does the Datafeed Toolbox crash when retrieveing Dutch equities from Bloomberg?

We try to retrieve intraday data for Dutch equities. We use a Bloomberg terminal and the Matlab Datafeed Toolbox. Most of the time, we get segmentation errors. These errors do not occur when retrieving intraday data for US Equities.

This bug is fixed in the Database Toolbox 1.3.1 (R13).

There is no known workaround for earlier versions of the Toolbox.

MATLAB: How to fetch data from Bloomberg by using the CUSIP for a security with the Datafeed Toolbox 1.3.1 (R13)

The CUSIP for a security signifies the security and the market. The Datafeed Toolbox can fetch data using the CUSIP of a security.

For example the following returns the same results:

c = bloomberg;
data = fetch(b,'IBM US Equity')
data1 = fetch(b,'459200101')

MATLAB: Do I receive inconsistent precision for historical data retrieved from the Bloomberg Database using the Datafeed Toolbox 1.8 (R2006a)

This behavior is due to the changes in the data from Bloomberg. Bloomberg might change its interface and in particular its units which changes the precision observed in MATLAB.
