Override missing PX_LAST to get last available price about pdblp HOT 2 OPEN

I would get in touch with Bloomberg Help or post to stack overflow with the tag blpapi since this looks like a Bloomberg specific issue as opposed to pdblp issue, which is just a wrapper on top of blpapi.

Hey

I finally solved my issue by using the xbbg module instead.

By looking at the source code for the pdblp bdh function, I see that there isn't really a parameter meant to capture those additional optional parameters (if I understand it well), could it be the reason why it wasn't able to recognize these commands? Like it isn't really part of the elms nor ovrds which refers to other things when I looked at the API documentation.

    def bdh(self, tickers, flds, start_date, end_date, elms=None,ovrds=None, longdata=False):

where as in the xbbg bdh source code I see a place for other args (in the **kwargs)

  def bdh( tickers, flds=None, start_date=None, end_date='today', adjust=None, **kwargs) -> pd.DataFrame:

which allows me to do something like this:

  pref_px_bbg = blp.bdh(tickers=CUSIPS, flds=['PX_Last'], start_date=Date2, end_date=Date1,Fill='P', Days='A')

That's what I observed, but maybe I am wrong about it..

Thanks!
