Remarks

If this is the same type as the underlying contract then this would indicate a related contract, e.g. CBOT mini-dow contract is currently on CME Globex system as CME_E YM, but was previously on the ECBOT platform as ECBT_E YM. This record would indicate the dates when this change occurred and allow access to get chart data for that old market. If this is a different type than the underlying contract, e.g. an option vs a future, then this indicates a relationship between these markets. e.g. CBOT mini-dow futures contract is CME_E YM and it's option contract is CME_EOp YM. This record allows you to relate the futures and options contracts to each other even when they have different contract id's.
