I was doing some research yesterday, and encountered the graph shown on the screen below.

What the heck is this? What does this tree structure represent?

Couldn't you call Bloomberg support and ask them? Heck, for the price one pays for a Bloom terminal, one would think they would offer top-notch support on their products.

BBG support is awesome. Problem is - kmiklas does not have a terminal

I do have access to a terminal, and their help system, but the ET forum is always first on my list.

Now that we've gotten past referrals to the Bloomberg help system, jabs at my startup project, and general hazing, is there anyone out there who can actually answer the question?

- How is debtor organizational and capital structure captured in this tree diagram?
- Why do some nodes have sub-nodes, and other don't?
- What does each node represent?
