CODES

In option B, if Data Source Scheme is not present, Date Code must contain one of the following codes:

ONGO

Ongoing Basis

Date is determined by "on going basis" process, for example "au fil de l'eau".

UKWN

Unknown Date

Date is unknown by the sender or has not been established.

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

In sequence B1 and D1a, MATU provides generic information about the final maturity of an instrument. In sequence C, MATU is to be used only in the case of event "maturity extension" EXTM (in sequence A, field :22F::CAEV//EXTM) to provide the extended maturity date.

Effective date is to be used:

  • In events where there is no concept of entitlement, for instance Name Change (CHAN) or Place of Incorporation (PLAC), and

  • In events where there is a sense of eligibility but with a legal obligation, for instance Merger (MRGR)
