gmms_y (routine)

Calculate Moosmuller method bond yield to maturity for German government securities

Introduced in release: 1.0
Component: Non-US (developed mkts)
Purpose: Calculates yield to maturity using the Moosmuller method for a German government regular bond or odd first coupon bond. Specifically it performs calculations on Bund and Bahn, Post, Unities, and Schatze.

Alternatives: This routine requires inputs normally provided by other interim routines. The gmms_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 can optionally perform its calculations considering an input ex-dividend date. To calculate an ex-dividend date use the gmis_exd routine.

Results: All results are calculated using the industry standard rules or generally accepted practices. The function returns the calculated yield to redemption, 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.
