MATLAB: How to retrieve the data for a field such as SETTLE_DT from Bloomberg using Datafeed Toolbox 3.1 (R2008a)

Datafeed Toolbox

I am looking to retrieve the data for Settlement Date (field name is SETTLE_DT) for a security.
Using the following code, I am able to retrieve the header data for a security but it does not contain the attribute of my interest:
b = bloomberg;
data = fetch(b,'USSO1Z Curncy');
This returns a structure that does not contain this attribute.

The default FETCH call (with no data request flag) returns a structure with the fields shown below. To explicitly get the SETTLE_DT field, you may use the following call to FETCH as an example:
%%%BEGIN CDE%%%
b = bloomberg
data = fetch(b,'USSO1Z Curncy','GETDATA','SETTLE_DT')
%%%END CDE%%%
The default field list when no data request flag is given is as follows:
    'AsOfDate'
    'AskCondition'
    'AskPrice'
    'AskSize'
    'BidCondition'
    'BidPrice'
    'BidSize'
    'Currency'
    'Format'
    'HighPrice'
    'LastMarketCondition'
    'LastPrice'
    'LastPriceTime'
    'LastPriceYesterday'
    'LastTradeCondition'
    'LastTradeExchange'
    'LimitDown'
    'LimitUp'
    'LowPrice'
    'Monitorable'
    'OpenInterest'
    'OpenPrice'
    'Scale'
    'SecurityKey'
    'SessionEndTime'
    'SessionStartTime'
    'SettlePrice'
    'Status'
    'TickDirection'
    'TodaysAsOfDate'
    'TodaysAskPrice'
    'TodaysAskSize'
    'TodaysBidPrice'
    'TodaysBidSize'
    'TodaysHighPrice'
