Hello- I have a dataset of bonds that have been traded in a seconday market, and these bonds pay a coupon (interest) payment every 6 months until they mature. I would like to determine the date of the first coupon payment after the trade occurs. I know the following: -the date of the first ever coupon date in the lifetime of the bond -the date that the bond traded Is there a SAS function that wil tell me, for each bond, what the date of the next coupon payment immediately following the trade is (by somehow comparing the first coupon payment date, the trade date, and the fact that the bonds pay a coupon every 6 months)? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Nick
