It would be helpful if you could provide quite a bit more background information, and not make us guess. For example, do you know you are making the Bloomberg connection properly? Have you successfully obtained other data? Are you getting an error message, or just unexpected output with no error? Etc.
Help us help you.
sorry about this. I have access to Bloomberg and the connection is good.I can get other data. I can get data like this: SPY US 06/18/11 C20 Equity ... from the function : getdata(c,'SPX Index','OPT_CHAIN') but there is no price for the option. I just need the price. And I need other data from Bloom like zero rate coupon, but I dont know the formula.
I am also interessted in getting SPX option chain into ,atlab for futher processing. Can you please tell me where I can find the documentation? I am unbale to find the complete info on Matlab help. Pleasd help!

Of course you don't get a price for an option. The field OPT_CHAIN does not request a price. It gives you a list with tickers of options (as you can easily verify in your Bloomberg terminal). So, this is not a Matlab problem. How to get zero coupon rates, isn't a Matlab problem either. Type IYC GO in the Bloomberg terminal an search for an appropriate curve. Then yoou can download the data with Matlab.

Thanks, could you tell me how to get option price data in Matlab?
getdata(c, OPTION_TICKER, 'PX_LAST')
Instead of PX_LAST you can also choose a differnt field: PX_BID, PX_ASK, ...

This thread from the older MATLAB newsgroup looks like it might have some helpful info that is related.
