Is there any way to go from SEDOL to mnemonic?

From my current process, I would need to go from entering SEDOL into the eikonapir to retrieve the RIC, which will then be used with the package to retrieve the mnemonic. Is there a way to skip the eikonapir step and have the code recognize a SEDOL string and return the appropriate mnemonic?

    Hello @WestWinter,

    I have done some testing with Datastream Test Service,

    And notice that although passing "B14MG44" into Instrument input does not work for me, resulting in "$$ER: E100,INVALID CODE OR EXPRESSION ENTERED", passing

    SYM#(B14MG44,SEDOL)

    into Instrument gets back the result as expected.

    Hope this helps
