N_stpd_p_ol

N_stpd_p_ol (routine)

Calculate multiple stepped odd last coupon bond price to maturity

Introduced in release: 1.0
Component: US Bonds
Purpose: Calculates the dollar price for a multiple stepped coupon bond that has more than one period remaining to maturity and an odd last coupon period.

Alternatives: This routine requires inputs normally provided by other interim routines. The N_stpd_py_ol routine uses a coupon rate and relevant dates in determining the number of remaining periods to maturity for computing a price.

Notes: Should be used for bonds with more than one step and can handle up to 20 steps.

Results: The price per 100 of maturity value is returned accurate to as many places as supported by a double precision value.

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