   If a rate is changed for the current coupon period, the system picks up the new variable rate the next time the earnings process is invoked. If the variable rate is changed for a prior period, the earnings process needs to be rolled back to the effective date of the variable rate change, and replayed forward to correctly reflect the position's earnings value.
