When you first start using a rotating banner with the &DAYSEQ variable, when does the &DAYSEQ()= 1 period begin? Does it begin with the very first day you install a MAILTPL with that variable? Or, is it based on some Julian date, or other independent time sequence? If so, what is that sequence and where can I find its value for the current date? I ask because from time to time I may want to insert some current news into my banner which I'll want to take effect immediately. If &DAYSEQ is based on some Julian date or whatever, I'll want to know how to calculate where in the rotation block I will need to insert the time-senstive message so that it shows up right away. Second question: do bottom banners appear with an automatic line to separate the banner text from the user's message, or will I need to insert my own separating border at the top of my banner text (if I wish to have one)? Thanks for any help. -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
