I need help with something.  I am trying to use the Probe1 template so
that my subscribers receive a reminder list every 7 days.  On weeks 1,
2, and 3, they should receive a short list of reminders; on week 4,
they should get the full list guidelines.  I have "Renewal=
7-Daily,Probe" in my list header.

I set this up yesterday (the Probe1 template is below).  Today, some
(not all!) of my subscribers received this:

>>> Error in line 3 of FILMUS-L.MAILTPL: extraneous data in
expression - "OR (&DAYSEQ(4) = 3)" <<<
 -> .BB (&DAYSEQ(4) = 1) OR (&DAYSEQ(4) = 2) OR (&DAYSEQ(4) = 3) <-

First, what did I do wrong here?  Do I need another set of
parentheses somewhere?

Second, why didn't everybody get this?  220 out of 376 subscribers
were probed.

Here is the template I set up:

&WEEKDAY, &DATE &TIME
.BB (&DAYSEQ(4) = 1) OR (&DAYSEQ(4) = 2) OR (&DAYSEQ(4) = 3)
<short list of reminders here>
.EB
.BB &DAYSEQ(4) = 4
<complete list guidelines here>
.EB
