Retrieve the instrument set ExampleInstSF from the data file InstSetExamples.mat. ExampleInstSF contains three types of instruments: Option, Futures, and TBill. 

load InstSetExamples; 
ISet = ExampleInstSF;
instdisp(ISet)
Index Type   Strike Price Opt

Enter data for the option in Index 6: Price 2.9 for a Strike of 95. 

ISet = instsetfield(ISet, 'Index',6,... 
'FieldName',{'Strike','Price'}, 'Data',{ 95 , 2.9 }); 
instdisp(ISet) 
Index Type   Strike Price Opt

7     TBill 99

Create a field Maturity for the cash instrument. 

MDate = datenum('7/1/99');
ISet = instsetfield(ISet, 'Type', 'TBill', 'FieldName',... 
'Maturity','FieldClass', 'date', 'Data', MDate);

7     TBill 99    01-Jul-1999

Create a field Contracts for all instruments.

ISet = instsetfield(ISet, 'FieldName', 'Contracts', 'Data', 0); 
instdisp(ISet)
Index Type   Strike Price Opt  Contracts
1     Option  95    12.2  Call 0

Input Arguments

collapse all

Instrument variable containing a collection of instruments, specified as InstSet structure. Instruments are classified by type; each type can have different data fields. The stored data field is a row vector or character vector for each instrument. For more information on the InstSet variable, see instget.

Data Types: struct

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: ISet = instsetfield(ISet,'Index',6,'FieldName',{'Strike','Price'},'Data',{ 95 , 2.9 })

Name of each data field for an instrument, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FieldName' and an NFIELDS-by-1 cell array of character vectors.

Data Types: char | cell

Data values for field, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Data' and an NVALUES-by-M array or NFIELDS-by-1 cell array of acceptable data values for each field. Each row in a data array corresponds to a separate instrument. Single rows are copied to apply to all instruments to be worked on. The number of columns is arbitrary and data is padded along columns.

Data Types: double | cell

Number of instruments, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Index' and an NINST-by-1 vector of positions of instruments to work on. If Type is also entered, instruments referenced must be one of Type types contained in Index.

Data Types: double

Number of types, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Type' and a NTYPES-by-1 cell array of character vectors restricting instruments worked on to match one of Type types.

Data Types: char | cell

Output Arguments

Instrument set variable containing the input data, returned as a structure.
