Remarks
· A settlement date occurs in the coupon period where the settlement date is greater than or equal to start date of the coupon period and less than the end date of the coupon period (as the end date of one period is the start date of the next period)
· If the @Frequency is any number other than 1, 2, 4, or 12, COUPPCD returns an error
· If @Basis < 0 or @Basis > 4, COUPPCD returns an error
· If @Settlement > @Maturity, COUPPCD returns an error
· If @Maturity is the end of the month, then COUPPCD always calculates the previous coupon dates as the last day of a month
