Field Summary
Last Modified: 8:34:43 PM 11/19/2008 GMT+10:00

Field files may be suffixed with a colon followed by a lag value, as in field0=tim.v:5 .

Field functions usually require a certain number of comma-separated arguments prefixed by a colon, as in field0=tr:10,253 . However, some user interfaces may allow or require use of parentheses isntead of a colon, as in field0=tr(10,253) .

Take note of default values, which are assigned to investments without meaningful values in the source data; N/A indicates that a default value is not required because a meaningful field value is always available.
