Hi, I am wondering whether there is the possibility to load information from bulk data fields from Bloomberg. So far when I attempt to do this via a fetch command I get the error message "Database Error: Bloomberg library error: 'Bloomberglp.Blpapi.InvalidConversionException: Cannot convert SEQUENCE to String.'."Is there a way around?

Unfortunately EViews cannot.
Can you however give a specific example and we will add it to our list of items to investigate?

A concrete example would be
fetch(d=bloomberg,link) vwehx us equity hb_rating_class_allocation
The field hb_rating_class_allocation is a bulk data field including two different subfields.
thanks for considering to resolve.
