060623 FRNVAL: Price forward starting floating leg
using routine which interpolates if a range
is entered for par.

060625 Change for AsOfDate on 050704 affects
SWAPTION, SWAPTION2, SWAPTION3,
SWAPTION4, SWAPTIONPROB.
ALL FIXED INCOME MODELS: Previously
undocumented change on 050704 which
removed error messages
that should not have been generated when
ranges were entered with dates earlier than
valuation date.
In particular, models which use other models,
including SWAPTION calling into BONDVAL, are
affected.

060707 ALL MODELS: Added more error checks on return values after internal calls
to high-level TOPS functions.

ACCRUALSWAPFIXSKIPDISC, ACCRUALSWAPFLTSKIPDISC, CAPFLRDISC,
ADDFPS: Added new models.
CAPTION: If maturity inside tree <= 1/12 then set cap value to 0 instead of
calling into model.

 readme.txt (90.77K)
Number of downloads: 2A new version of TOPS has been uploaded to the ftp site. The changes are:

060724 All interest rate models which accept 5 element ranges for maturity: Switched all models to use date
generation code which always includes maturity date and effective date even when roll date is earlier than
effective or later than maturity. Previously, some models called the routine with this fix but not all. When
a single maturity date is passed to a model this change has no affect.

060725 All interest rate models which accept 5 element ranges for maturity: Check of validity of 5 dates fixed to
check when effective <> start of last OR first payment <> maturity (previously had checked with AND
instead of OR).

060726 SWAPTION, SWAPTION2: When generating binomial periods in which exercise can occur, in the case where a single
first exercise is entered, and exercise on coupon dates is Yes or a frequency, then do not include the input first
exercise date in the list of exercise dates, since it may not fall on a payment or exercise date.

060727 SWAPTION, SWAPTION2: When (1) a 5 cell maturity range is entered, (2) with a single first exercise, and (3) either
coupon exercise is yes or there is an exercise frequency, then any dates that fall within the first and last period
are considered exercise dates. For example, a six month last period with quarterly exercise will now include an
exercise date three months before maturity.

060728 SWAPTION, SWAPTION2, SWAPTION3, SWAPTION4, SWAPTIONM, SWAPTIONPROB, SWAPTIONSTK, BARRIERSWAPTION, CONVERTIBLE,
CONTSWAPTION: In calculation of strikes, one more call into BondVal uses a par, maturity, coupon, and holidays
which have been converted from terms back to dates. SWAPTION2: When combining coupon range and spread range,
don't consider two consecutive entries in the combined range to be the same if they are 1 day apart.

060802 RESETDATES: When calculating earlytoday variable (date which can be used as valdate to generate list of
dates for current payment period) don't go back 1 day before payment date that's just before valdate, if
that date is also in date list (in this case, keep it at payment date prior to valdate).

which values a make whole provision.
