This is a request from the Global Derivatives Committee to extend the MaturityMonthYear format an additional two spaces (optional) to be able to support specific date or specific expiration codes. This will simplify for the user how to specify products. Examples:

200303w2 - March 2003 Week 2 expiring future

200303 - March 2003 future

20030320 - March 20, 2003 future

The format for this field would be:

YYYYMM{A-z|0-9}{A-Z|0-9}
