* If "settlement" is not an integer, it is truncated.
* If "settlement" >= "maturity", then #NUM! is returned.
* If "settlement" is not a valid date, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "maturity" is not an integer, it is truncated.
* If "maturity" is not a valid date, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "pr" <= 0, then #NUM! is returned.
