pdblp BDH Overrides with CDR about pdblp HOT 3 OPEN

https://data.bloomberglp.com/labs/sites/2/2013/12/blpapi-developers-guide-1.38.pdf

seems like page 164 of pdf (166 actual guide) sheds some light...is there a way to incorporate this into the pdblp module? Or how to write the correct syntax if I want the same trading days for my example, say SPX Index on both US and EN trading days?

Thanks a lot!

I am unsure how the Excel backend works, but have been informed previously that the backend service for the python API and the Excel API are different. pdblp is just a wrapper around the Bloomberg libary blpapi, so any overrides supported through blpapi should be possible in pdblp. As you wrote in your example above, these can be passed to bdh either via elms or ovrds parameters. I would confirm with Bloomberg or possibly on StackOverflow with tag blpapi on how to structure the right blpapi request.
