SETT

Date/time at which trade was executed.

CODES

In option B, if Qualifier is TRAD and Data Source Scheme is not present, Date Code must contain the following code:

VARI

Various

Partial trades have occurred over a period of two or more days.

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES

Date must be a valid date expressed as YYYYMMDD.

Time must be a valid time expressed as HHMMSS.

UTC Indicator must be a valid time expressed as HH[MM].

Sign ([N]) must not be used when UTC Indicator is equal to all zeroes.

USAGE RULES

ADEL, Late delivery date is used for pool trades that result from the original TBA's. (the original TBA's would be offset by an opposite transaction and replaced by buys or sells of individual pools). It is a date greater than the settlement date stated in the trade, for pools designed as settling late.

Trade Date/Time, when used with format 98C or 98E, must be the local time of the place of trade, for example, of the stock exchange, or of the selling broker for OTC.

Market Practice Rules

In addition to the settlement date (ISO 15022 mandatory), trade date is one of the 10 common elements recommended by SMPG for equities and fixed income settlement instructions.

For more details, see the relevant market practice document on www.smpg.info.
