Seems to be.
I will need to look into the mathematics of bonds a little deeper.

The problems always seem to focus on the 'E' value.
DIS = days between issue and settlement date
E = days in coupon period at settlement
DSC = E - DIS, and is supposed to be days between settlement and next 6 month coupon date (but DSC is not used with bond terms < 6 months)

The only dates given for these problems as far as I can tell are the settlement and maturity dates, so I'm not sure how the coupon dates and E fit in.
I think the issue date is where the coupon period starts from ??
