Creates a money object which associates a nominal amount with a currency.
The FXManager object that this function will be based on must have been previously created via the
CreateFXManager() function.
This function would have returned a string 'KEY' which is to be passed to the 'FXManagerKey' parameter within this function.
This Money object will hold a reference to this and will use this object internally for FX conversions.
If you are to pass this Money object to other Money object functions for manipulation, make sure that other money objects also use the same FXManager object for FX conversion (they were created using the same FXManager key).
For the Ccy parameter, please refer to the large number of enumeration functions present within the
CapeTools Enums category of functions.
The
CapeTools Enums category of functions return correct string codes that can be passed to parameters taking fixed string values defined by the library (ie - DayCount codes, frequency codes, currency codes, compounding codes, business day convention codes etc...).
You can thus execute these enumeration functions which return the proper code, instead of trying to remember the string code needed or making spelling mistakes which can be difficult to debug.
This function creates an object and returns a string-key value to represent this created object.
The TAG value of the string-key returned (second part of the key) is : "$"
The C# example below contains all the sub-function calls leading up to this function call. As a result, the example can contain a lot of code.
The VB.NET, J#, C++.NET, Java, Excel VBA, Visual Basic 6 (via COM) and C++ examples below contain function code stubs for the calls leading up to this function call. However, the function call for this function is displayed.
You can easily reproduce the stub functions code from the
C# example.
