N_stpd_ytm (routine)

Calculate multiple stepped coupon bond yield to maturity

Introduced in release: 1.0
Component: US Bonds
Purpose: Calculates the yield to maturity for a multiple stepped coupon bond.

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

Notes: This routine should be used for bonds with more than 1 step and can handle up to 20 steps.

Results: The yield is returned as a percentage, accurate to as many places as supported by a double precision number.

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