extension example without extensions: “Also, “eqd_ex01_american_call_stock_long_form.xml” is one of the example files, but doesn’t seem to have any extensions in it.” – tony coates

https://dedicated.fpml.org/viewcvs/branches/ext2/src/schema/Warrant.TradeCreated.xml?rev=2296&view=log This is trivial, but in the example “Warrant.TradeCreated.xml”, I think the currency code is meant to be “AUD” rather than “ASD”. – Tony Coates

Please merge the ext2 branch into the trunk. I assume they will continue to be packaged and distributed separately. At the moment it is time consuming to keep them in synch. NB This doesn’t mean the ext2 branch will be released, it just means extensions will be kept properly in synch – they will be … Continued

eqd-18 (Mandatory) If equityExercise/equityBermudanExercise/equityMultipleExercise is present, and numberOfOptions is present then: maximumNumberOfOptions * integralMultipleExercise (in equityExercise/equityBermudanExercise/equityMultipleExercise) is less than or equal to numberOfOptions. The correct XPath contains Bermuda (without the trailing “n”). equityExercise/equityBermudaExercise/equityMultipleExercise

eqd-17 says: “If equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise is present, and numberOfOptions is present then: maximumNumberOfOptions * integralMultipleExercise (in equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise) is less than or equal to numberOfOptions.” The problem with this is that maximumNumberOfOptions is also in equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise, but the rule does not state this. If you follow it literally you are trying to find maximumNumberOfOptions on the context … Continued

/FpML/trade/equityOption/equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise/minimumNumberOfOptions Add an explanation that these can be fractional amounts.

Add a facet of a minimum number to /FpML/trade/equityOption/equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise/minimumNumberOfOptions

Context: EquityExercise (complex type) eqd-15 (Mandatory) If equityValuation/equityValuationDate/adjustableDate exists, and equityEuropeanExercise exists, then equityValuation/equityValuationDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be equal to equityEuropeanExercise/expirationDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate. The path does not exist: “//element(*, fpml:EquityExerciseValuationSettlement)[equityValuation/equityValuationDate/adjustableDate]” The correct path should be: “//element(*, fpml:EquityExerciseValuationSettlement)[equityValuation/valuationDate/adjustableDate]” “equityValuationDate” should be “valuationDate”.

The context given for eqd-15 is “Context: EquityExercise (complex type)” There is no type with this name in FpML. I expect the correct type is EquityExerciseValuationSettlement. The rule needs correcting.

This issue was resolved with the outcome that, as of the last two published drafts, all dates in the FpML examples now carry an explicit timezone offset expressed as “-00:00”. If we insist that all samples should include the timezone, then we should use the canonical ‘Z’ form (e.g. 2007-08-15Z), which has the merit of … Continued
