Re: [Quantlib-users] Failing to create a Swap contract

[Brian S. <bri...@gm...>]

Hi Trent,

While it will be definitely interesting to try with MakeSwap, but it
would be insightful to understand why my earlier implementation with
VanillaSwap is failing. Any help to resolve error with VanillaSwap is
very appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
