\name{getSymbols.rda}
\alias{getSymbols.rda}
\alias{getSymbols.RData}
%- Also NEED an '\alias' for EACH other topic documented here.
\title{ Load Data from R Binary File }
\description{
Downloads \code{Symbols} to specified \code{env}
from local R data file. This method is
not to be called directly, instead a call to
\code{getSymbols(Symbols,src='rda')} will in
turn call this method. It is documented for the
sole purpose of highlighting the arguments
accepted, and to serve as a guide to creating
additional getSymbols \sQuote{methods}.
}
\usage{
getSymbols.rda(Symbols,
env,
dir="",
return.class = "xts",
extension="rda",
col.names=c("Open","High","Low","Close","Volume","Adjusted"),
...)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
\item{Symbols}{ a character vector specifying
the names of each symbol to be loaded}
\item{env}{ where to create objects. (.GlobalEnv) }
\item{dir}{ directory of rda/RData file }
\item{return.class}{ class of returned object }
\item{extension}{ extension of R data file }
\item{col.names}{ data column names }
\item{\dots}{ additional parameters }
}
\details{
Meant to be called internally by \code{getSymbols} (see also).
One of a few currently defined methods for loading
data for use with \pkg{quantmod}. Essentially a
simple wrapper to the underlying \R \code{load}.
}
\value{
A call to getSymbols.csv will load into the specified
environment one object for each
\code{Symbol} specified, with class defined
by \code{return.class}. Presently this may be \code{ts},
\code{zoo}, \code{xts}, \code{data.frame},
or \code{timeSeries}.

\examples{
\dontrun{
# All 3 getSymbols calls return the same
# MSFT to the global environment
# The last example is what NOT to do!
## Method #1
getSymbols('MSFT',src='rda')
getSymbols('MSFT',src='RData')
## Method #2
setDefaults(getSymbols,src='rda')
# OR
setSymbolLookup(MSFT='rda')
# OR
setSymbolLookup(MSFT=list(src='rda'))
getSymbols('MSFT')

## NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
