String Manipulation ${no.} meaning

File name is

Code:
INFILE="ABC_BMWPPI_20120909_00073.DAT.ASDFGHJK" -> 44 character long

mv INFILE GEPB_${INFILE:${#INFILE}-27:15}dat

result is GEPB_20120909_00073.DAT.

I am confused in how we get it.
If I evaluate
1- GEPB_${INFILE:${#INFILE}-27:15}dat
2- GEPB_${INFILE:${44}-27:15}dat
3- GEPB_${INFILE:14:15}dat
4- GEPB_20120909_00073.dat

Can anybody explain how ${44} got evaluated here?
generally $ comes with variable name, how it is working with number here.
