Hi all,
I don't want to diminish my fault (sorry again folks). However, the fact that this bug has been made possible by a default argument remind me the following verse:
Explicit is better than implicit.
(The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters)
IMHO default parameters can help to save typing but can also form nasty traps in that they provide quite realistic wrong values and thus hard to detect bugs. (In this case I have been quite lucky that this bug show up). I would even dare to say that sometimes they might even reduce code explicitness.
Any thoughts ?
François

Probably this change:
<

It seems that one of the two settlementDate() calls got lost...
