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


BO1 – A bulk transaction in bonds for which the quantity cannot be determined


DOB – Debt obligations in bearer form


DO1 – A bulk transaction in debt obligations in bearer form for which the quantity cannot be determined

Different subject - suggest dropdowns be available for things like this to avoid errors and help users (i.e. coutry codes on T1132)
