Why do I receive an error message when executing FETCH using a tick type Bid_Yields in Datafeed Toolbox 3.4 (R2009b)?

I am executing the FETCH function with the following syntax:

handleBBG = bloomberg;

Tickers = { '912828NE6 Govt','912828NC0 Govt','912828NF3 Govt'};

StartDate = '05/10/2010 09:00:00';

EndDate = '05/10/2010 09:30:00';

data = fetch(handleBBG, Tickers, 'TIMESERIES', {StartData, EndData}, 5, 'Bid_Yields');

I get the following error message:

 ??? Error using ==> bloomberg.fetch at 648

 Invalid tick type requested: Bid_Yields

Using BLOOMBERG or BLP syntax, for intraday tick requests, only TRADE, BID_BEST, and ASK_BEST are supported.

You may use the following syntax to request raw data:

d = timeseries(c,'ABC US Equity',{floor(now)-1,floor(now)},[],{'BID_BEST','ASK_BEST'})
