Option A | :4!c//[N]15d | (Qualifier) (Sign) (Rate) |
Optional
(Error code(s): T89)
This qualified generic field specifies:
The integer part of Rate must contain at least one digit. A decimal comma is mandatory and is included in the maximum length (Error code(s): T40, T43).
When Sign is present, Rate must not be zero (Error code(s): T14).
Sign must be present when Rate is negative.
Except for previous (PRFC) and next (NWFC) factor rates (typically defined as a decimal), when used with format option A (:4!c//[N]15d), the rate should be expressed as a percentage, not as a decimal fraction (12% should be identified by 12, and not 0,12).
In case of partial redemption by pool factor, PRFC (Previous Factor) provides the factor applicable before redemption and NWFC provides the factor applicable after redemption.
