Floating rate Bond_ Bootstrapping error

[Kulkarni, Amit3]

Hi

I am trying to test the Floating rate Bond, however ended up with the following error;

" could not bootstrap the 1st  instrument, maturity date April 28,2008.
error message: negative time  <-0.00273224> given "

Is the error  related to bond Settlement date/dated date??

Also , I would like to know what is "Gearing" & "DatedDate" in Floating Rate Bond constructor

given is the test code  I tried;
..............................................................................................
Integer settlementDays = 3;
Integer length         = 5;

        Settings::instance().evaluationDate() = today;
  Date settlementDate = calendar.advance(today, settlementDays, Days);
  Date exerciseDate = calendar.advance(settlementDate, length, Years);
  Date issueDate = calendar.advance(exerciseDate, -length, Years);

Hi Amit,
if I remember correctly in the release you're using for "dated date" is
meant the first accrual date of the bond, not the settlement date.
By "gearing" is meant a vector of multiplicative leverages applied to
the floating rate index. For example if your bond pays euribor flat for
all its life the gearing is 1. But in case you consider a reverse
floater your gearing should be negative (usually -2). Another example is
a bond paying fixed for some coupon periods and then switching to a
floater. In that case the vector of gearing should be 0 as many coupon
periods as the bond is paying a fixed rate than 1 for the periods it's
paying one time the floating rate index.
These are just some examples.
Anyway I suggest to download and use the latest realease of QuantLib.
Hope this help.

Chiara
