Eike Rathke commented on OFFICE-2248:
-------------------------------------

I think a settlement date is a defined term in finance, though I may be wrong. We could have called the parameter "foo" and said "foo: the settlement date" ... We do not define the term settlement, we define the parameter called settlement.

> Some but not all of the financial functions have parameters reported as part of their definitions.
> Those parameters reflect different wordings for the same parameters. To illustrate, between 15.12.2 and 15.12.23 we find (not all cases reported):
> 15.12.2 settlement	The security's settlement date.
> 15.12.3 settlement	The security's maturity date.
> 15.12.8 settlement	The settlement date.
> 15.12.16 settlement	The settlement date of the security.
> 15.12.23 Settlement: the date of purchase of the security.
> I suspect that 2, 8, 16 and 23 all have the same meaning but I would be hard pressed to swear to it. 
> There are two aspects to this issue: 
> 1) The same parameters are repeated, often with slightly different wordings for the same meaning. 
> 2) The parameters are presented differently, compare 15.12.16 with 15.12.19 for example.
