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, COUPDAYS returns an error
· If @Basis < 0 or @Basis > 4, COUPDAYS returns an error
· If @Settlement > @Maturity, COUPDAYS returns an error
