Use this information to create categories with multiyear or multimonth capabilities. You can enter up to 30 Annual or 120 Monthly sets of prepayment rate speeds for the rate shocks that you define.

  3. Select Add..
  4. Enter a unique Table Name for the category.

  8. Enter a whole number value from -1000 through 1000.
