Calculate cash flows for an odd last bond with multiple coupon steps
Introduced in release: 1.23 Component: US Bonds Purpose:
Determines all future cash flows and their corresponding dates, from the settlement date, for a bond with multiple coupon steps and an optional odd last coupon. 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.
Alternatives:
Use N_stpd_cfs if there is no odd last period and performance is an issue
Notes:
A maximum of 20 conversion dates is accommodated.
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.
