On June 25, 2012 the 68. WM Release will become effective. We would like to inform you about some upcoming alterations beforehand and corresponding impacts in WMACCESS.

New fields in the query profile Securities master data (G)

• GD189F Underlying index multiplier identifier
• GD189G Underlying index multiplier
• GD447H Limited recourse identifier
• GV939 Euro Bond issuers

Frozen fields

The following data fields will be frozen as of the 68th WM Release.

Query profile Investment Fund Characteristics (IFK):

• GD971A Fund granularity
• GD971B Date re. granularity

These two fields are frozen by WM Datenservice without replacement. For existing securities, therefore, these fields are not any more updated and not provided for new issues. The display with the last valid values ​​is still available till the next WM Release on October, 22. Until then these fields will be presented as frozen.

Query profile Stock exchanges & trading practices (X):

• XD170 Flat quotation identifier
• XD543C Maximum spread %
• XD543G Threshold
• XD543H Maximum spread below the threshold
• XD543I Maximum spread

With the 68th WM Release the field XD170 is replaced immediately by the existing field XD171 and therefore removed from the query profile Stock exchanges & trading practices (X).
The fields XD543C, XD543G, XD543H & XD543I were designed to provide data for Xetra and EUWAX. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, however, now abolished the maximum spread requirement on these plattforms. Therefore, the fields are frozen by WM and removed from the query profile X without replacement analogous to the two above mentioned IFK fields by 22.10.2012.

Further information from WM Datenservice:

• Customer information K07 from April 5, 2012
• Special information F14 from March 09, 2012 about Flat Quotation

To date the detail display for key values such as "DE" only contains the up to 24-characters form text under information content. Besides standardised values such as the country code according to ISO standard 3166 often table attributes occur that cannot be interpreted immediately and unequivocally by everyone with the 24 available characters.

Current presentation of the table attributes:

With the menu item administration we have now created a possibility to change this standard setting for the current WMACCESS session.

The administration can be opened comfortably by using the WMACCESS menu:

Make your choice in the administration screen and implement this setting with a click on the "OK" button. The selected setting will be used immediately for the next wmView query and is only valid for the current session.

In the detail levels 3 and 4 the detailed continuous text is also displayed in the tooltip of the linkage fields.

The hit list in the query profile Corporate Actions, which allows the search for performed and upcoming income events, capital changes, conversions, general meetings and final maturities has been extended.
The status of a corporate event is now displayed in addition to the type of event, once the Toogle function is executed.

The values of the Status column depends on the type of event and are represented by the following WM fields and associated tables:

• Income:
  Payment status (Field: ED001 / Table: E13)
• Conversions:
  Conversion status (Field: UD001 / Table: U25)
• Capital changes:
  Capital measure status (Field: KD001 / Table: K12)
• General meetings:
  Meeting or announcement status (Field: HD001 / Table: H25)
• Final maturities:
  Drawing or calling status (Field: VD001 / Table: V11)

Another small improvement was made ​​in the detail display of wmView.
For the following three fields

• GD240 Original issuer number
• GD241 Issuer number of the umbrella fund
• GD245 Current issuer number

the associated current issuer name (MD031) will now be shown:

By clicking on the issuer number the complete issuer master data will be displayed in the query profile "(M) Issuer Data".
For more information on GD240, GD241 and GD245, in particular the allocation for funds and structured securitisation and indices, please refer to the respective field descriptions in wmGuide.

The long name of the WM fields is now available in a Tooltip in wmView and wmProfile. We consider this small enhancement very useful because the displayed abbreviated short name of many fields are sometimes difficult to interprete.

Fields with enabled field history:

The tooltip is displayed when the user hovers the cursor over the displayed short name.

Representation for fields without a field history:
