What does "type code of securities' mean at Box 14 on the T5008 turbo screen mean? What is the 'code' they are looking for?

Box 14 on the T5008 is for Date of Disposition. The required date format is MMDD 

"Type code of securities" is Box 15 on the T5008 slip. Here is CRA's list of codes: 

BON – Bonds
