[R-SIG-Finance] RBloomberg connection options

[David Reiner]

Thanks to Ana and John for this great package!

I am intrigued by the options shown in one example, but clueless as to how to take advantage of them.
How do we set useUTCTime to FALSE ?
Here's the example that shows there is such an option:

> library(RBloomberg)
> conn <- blpConnect()
> conn$BOOLEAN_OPTION_NAMES
 [1] "useUTCTime"                "returnRelativeDate"        "adjustmentNormal"          "adjustmentAbnormal"
 [5] "adjustmentSplit"           "adjustmentFollowDPDF"      "returnEids"                "includeConditionCodes"
 [9] "includeNonPlottableEvents" "includeExchangeCodes"

I tried conn$ useUTCTime and conn@ useUTCTime, and
conn <- blpConnect(useUTCTime=FALSE)
but none of these make sense to the package.

Thanks for the help,
