Creates a Continuous Averaging Asian Option object.

Once the object has been constructed, the value of the option can be obtained by executing the PrcObjContinuousAsianOption() function.

This function requires the input of a BlackScholes Process object key, which must have been produced via a call to one of the following functions : GBSProcess(), GBSProcess2(), BS73Process(), BS73Process2(), BlackProcess(), BlackProcess2(), GKProcess() or GKProcess2(). These functions would have returned a string 'KEY' which is to be passed to the 'stochProcess' parameter of this function.

This function requires the input of a payoff object key, which must have been produced via a call to one of the following functions : PlainVanilla(), PercentageStrike(), CashOrNothing(), AssetOrNothingPayoff() or Gap(). These functions would have returned a string 'KEY' which is to be passed to the 'payoff' parameter of this function.

This function requires the input of a exercise object key, which must have been produced via a call to one of the following functions : AmericanExercise(), EuropeanExercise(), BermudanExercise(), ExerciseFromLeg(), ExerciseFromSche(), ExerciseFromSW(), ExerciseFromFIXBND() or ExerciseFromFLTBND(). These functions would have returned a string 'KEY' which is to be passed to the 'exercise' parameter of this function.

This function requires the input of an engine object key, which must have been produced via a call to the ContinuousAsianEngine() function.

This function would have returned a string 'KEY' which is to be passed to the 'engine' parameter of this function.

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 : "CASIANOPT"
