Additional explanatory information, which may be continued on the next lines, is preceded by a double slash '//'. Narrative text that is not qualified by a code must start with a double slash '//' on a new line, and should preferably be the last information in this field.

This field may be used in confirmations for which bilateral side letters for Non Deliverable Options (NDO) have been exchanged between Party A and Party B. When matching is not required for settlement currency, then the settlement currency (/SETC/) may be populated with 'XXX' .
