Sub UserProc;
Var
r: Double;
Begin
r := Finance.YieldMat(DateTime.ComposeDay(2008,01,01),
DateTime.ComposeDay(2008,06,01), DateTime.ComposeDay(2007,10,01), 0.15, 145.8, 0);
Debug.WriteLine(r);
End Sub UserProc;
After executing the example the console window displays the annual yield of securities equal to -0.6347.
