Valuation input file [INI]

There can be several files used for a single valuation. The engine searches through the header records to find all files associated with the valuation. The IB record contains the base and current assumtion set files. It also continas the name of the data file. Everything can be in one file! These splits are only availble if need.

The order of precendence is as follows:

  1. LLAMA.INI - this is the startup file.
  2. Base assumptions - this is a default set of assumption header records
  3. Current assumptions - these are the records for the current valuation
  4. Data records - These are the data records

The engine will start processing these files in sequential order until all records have been completed.
