Vector Files

The vector files are used to supply the engine with all variables that require a monthly rate or ratio. By using this format you can set the exact number you want for every month of the loan life. There are no fancy calculations or special routines.

The vectors are simple, flat ASCII files that can be created by any spreadsheet or word processor.

Each of these vectors is a column numbers that is 360 rows (months) for monthly cycles, 30 rows (years) for annual cycles and 30 rows (days) for monthly cycles.

Vectors perform the following functions

1. Replace Discount rates
2. Multiply by Inflation
3. Add to Delin
4. Percent of total Amortization
These are simple ASCII files that can be create from a spreadsheet or any ASCII editor.
[I] Inflation
[V] Simple vector
[R] Interest rate vector [annual rate /12 ]
[P] Prepayment
[D] Discount rate vector
[T] Accumulative Add it up
[A] Cash flow vector
[M] Simple vector
Sample Vector file
This is a file processed by the Model to create vector files. Is is optional only! You can create your own files.

Inflation Vector Example
There are two sets of data in each vector file:

1. Monthly vaLues
2. Annual values The columns are as follows
Month and row counters
#1 Location 1 to 5
This field can contain a date in the format YYYMM which specifes an exact date for each value. If zeros are present the vector starts at period 1

#2 Location 9 to 12
This is the number of the value with in the file

Monthly Values - Used when the model is in the 360 month mode.
#3 Location 14 to 24
This is the annualized value to use.

#4 Location 26 to 36
This is the monthly value to use. It is the actual value used by the model.

Annual Values - Only used if the model is in a 30 year mode.
#5 Location 38 48 {Same as #3}
This column is for the annual rate

#6 Location 50 to 60
This is the calculated annual value used by the model.

Vector Definition File
This is the vector definition file - All the vectors are defined by this file. The model will create the vectors if it finds this record in the input file.
Column #1 The record ID for this layout is VECT2

Column #2 The name of the vector. This is also the first
part of the DOS file name xxxxxxxx.yyy

Column #3 Simple description of the vector

Column #4 The vector type (see above)

Column #5 The starting date of the vector YYMM.

Field #6 The first month

Field #7 The first value for this month
These numbers form the vectors exactly as in KAL_II.
