N_stpd_cfs

N_stpd_cfs (routine)

Calculate cash flows for a bond with multiple coupon steps

Introduced in release: 1.0
Component: US Bonds
Purpose: Determines all future cash flows and their corresponding dates, from the settlement date, for a bond with multiple coupon steps. The cash flows are all interest payments and principal repayments, combined by date.

Special Considerations: For the cash flows to be scaled consistently with those used by the security specific price/yield routine set the variable thous_securities to zero. This forces the cash flows to be based on 100 of maturity value.

Notes: A maximum of 20 conversion dates is accommodated.

The maturity date used by this routine can be a maturity/redemption date.

Results: All results are scaled by thous_securities and accurate to as many places as supported by double precision numbers. The array cfs contains the cash flows and the arrays cf_months, cf_days, cf_years contain the corresponding dates.

Error Conditions: Returned values should be ignored for a non-zero status. See Errors.
