Market risk: ASA general interest rate risk (AS1 IRR): total positive unweighted delta senitivities of GIRR, which must be zero or higher (OF91.01.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0281)

A blocking check on the market risk: ASA general interest rate risk (AS1 IRR) template (OF91.01.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check does not run it on the own funds (PRA001) return. Held back, never run on a test file. It never runs on any test file of the return, so it cannot be proven yet. It is held back until it is proven.

Line4 Check does not run this check yet, so the button checks your return against the Bank's other checks for it. The validation run when you submit includes this one.
