How to deal with missing index fixings?

[snovik]

What is the best way to deal with missing index fixings?

I would like to load them on demand (from several sources; have some special logic involved). fixing() method throws when a fixing is missing but it does not help me anyhow to remedy the problem and load the missing fixing.

How are you dealing with such problem?

Brute force. We (as in "we at StatPro") load the whole fixing history.
This is ok for us, as we have long-running programs and the overhead of
loading everything is negligible.

the same approach is adopted in the QLXL framework, which has been
under development in the last couple years and will be released
probably next year.

appreciate it, but unfortunately not my case because it is just a user interface.

no other ideas?
