Issue 2391:  IDL Changes to support date ranges on ExchangeRateValue                                                                                                                                                (currency-rtf)

Summary: Summary: Propose the addition of the following interface(s):
 
           void setDateRange(in CBO::Dtime beginDateTime,
                          in CBO::Dtime endDateTime) – Sets the window in
           time over which the ExchangeRate instance is valid.
           CBO::Dtime getStartDate() – Returns the date and time at which
           the ExchangeRate took effect.
           CBO::Dtime getEndDate() – Returns the date and time at which the
           ExchangeRate is no longer valid.
 
           Will also need an appropriate exception to throw when the date
           range is attempted to be set and beginDateTime >= endDateTime. Do
           not think that the beginDateTime should be allowed to be equal to
           the endDateTime as that then means that the ExchangeRate is valid
           for zero seconds.
 
 

Resolution: resolved by Currency 2 RTF
Revised Text: Resolution: Incorporate changes in the spec to allow for date specific exchange rates, adding new methods for setting and getting the effective dates.
Revised Text:  In section 2.3.8 add the following text after value ExchangeRate: 
Effective Date Range
Void setDateRange(in CBO::DTime beginDateTime, in CBO::DTime endDateTime)      
raises(FbcException);
Sets the window in time over which the given exchange rate is valid.  An exception will be raised if the given beginDateTime is greater than or equal to the endDateTime.
CBO::DTime getStartDate() raises (FbcException);
CBO::DTime getEndDate() raises(FbcException);

The start date/time of an exchange rate is the date and time in which it took affect for the exchange rate's source/target currency mnemonics and rate type.  The end date/time is the date and time after which the exchange rate is no longer valid.
Revised idl:  In Appendix A add the following idl to the ExchangeRate value before the exchange operation:
Void setDateRange(in CBO::DTime beginDateTime, in CBO::DTime endDateTime) 
raises(FbcException);
CBO::DTime getStartDate() raises (FbcException);
CBO::DTime getEndDate() raises(FbcException);

Add to the init method after conversionFactor: 
in CBO::DTime beginDateTime,
in CBO::DTime endDateTime)

Issue Title: IDL Changes to support date ranges on ExchangeRateValue
Issue Type: IDL Revision
Issue Description:
Propose the addition of the following interface(s):

          void setDateRange(in CBO::Dtime beginDateTime,
                         in CBO::Dtime endDateTime) urns the date and
time at which the
          ExchangeRate is no longer valid.

          Will also need an appropriate exception to throw when the
date
          range is attempted to be set and beginDateTime >=
endDateTime. Do
          not think that the beginDateTime should be allowed to be
equal to
          the endDateTime as that then means that the ExchangeRate is
valid
          for zero seconds.
