Prices - Monroe 3180 User Manual

Remember, when entering a date without a century, the TRADER II assumes a valid date between
January 1, 1970 and December 31, 2069. If you want to use a date not in this range, include the century.
January 1, 2070 may be entered as 1.012070.
EXAMPLE: Jan. 1, 2070
ENTER
1.012070
In order to provide consistency in security and date calculations, some guidelines must be followed when
entering dates. These are:
The TRADER II will not accept dates which do not exist on an actual calendar. Incorrect entries will not
be stored and the date 00-00-0000 will display.
•
The TRADER II will never allow a security calculation without first entering a settlement date.
•
Dates may be entered in any order but compared to each other when a calculation is
performed. Dates, if necessary for a calculation, must be in the following order:
Issue/Dated Date
Earliest
•
When the TRADER II is turned on all date registers are set to the fictitious date 00-00-0000.
The presence of 00-00-0000 for a date is an indication that you do not want to use that date
in a calculation.
For example, an Issue/Dated date of 00-00-0000 will not be used when calculating accrued
interest.
