How can I specify an issue by its SEDOL number in the Datafeed Toolbox?

Rather than specify an issue by a string when connecting to Bloomberg using the FETCH function, I want to use its SEDOL number.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, there are no workarounds.

Here's a sample function call:

blb = bloomberg;

% Return today's trade time series for the given security SEDOL1 id

% aggregated into 5 minute intervals.

d = fetch(blb,'2224563','TIMESERIES',NOW,5,'Trade','SEDOL1');
