DEFINITION

This qualified generic field specifies:

CAON

CA Option Number

Number identifying the available corporate action options.

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES

Number Id must be a number ranging from 001 to 999 or (Unsolicited) value UNS .

USAGE RULES

For differentiation between options, the corporate action option number CAON must be used (preferred rather than the corporate action option code indicator CAOP, eg, in the case where two or more offers can be described by the same corporate action option code). Therefore, the corporate action number must be different for each option.
