<t>DavidJN,That's the problem because i don't see how could I change the discount curve. Why would the discount curve be dependent on the reference rate? If I have a 5 year FRN paying 12m euribor i could do a basis swap to change the cashflow to Euribor 3m + 23bp (current 3 vs 12 spread for 5 years)...
