The 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates mini-calendar modifiers are used to delete the textbox of a mini-calendar, based on whether or not the month of the current mini-calendar requires the day combinations 1/8 and 2/9.
➢This modifier only makes sense in the context of a 5-week mini-calendar.
The 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates modifier is of the form
:ZapCode Operator FractionCode
ZapCode |
z |
deletes the textbox containing the mini-calendar token (if the textbox is grouped, it will be removed from the group before being deleted) |
Z |
deletes the textbox containing the mini-calendar token, as well as any object that is grouped to that textbox |
|
ZL |
Deletes all the objects that are located on the same layer and the same page as the textbox containing the mini-calendar token (whether or not they are grouped).

Allowed values are:
•f18 (if the only combined dates are 1/8) •f29 (if both the 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates are present)
For example [1mc+00:ZL~f18] or [1mc+00:ZL~f29]. |
This modifier is usually used in 5-week mini-calendars, to display or delete layers specific to the cases where one or both of the 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates are present.
