negative yields

MJC1
Hi,

I'm using the yield to maturity and IRR methods for inflation linked bonds. When the real yield is <0 the methods are returning errors.

Does anybody have any suggestions for alternative methods to use to compute yield for this asset class?

Thanks,

Mike

Michael,
        sorry for the delay---vacations and all that. Did you happen to
investigate what fails exactly? Or, can you send a small example to
reproduce the error?
