Description:
This is a problem with some converted item and patron records. The items, patrons, loans, etc., show up OK in the GUI, but the "Hold requests" link in the left-hand tree in the patron record display fails to show any holds even though there *is* a z37 hold request for this patron.

Resolution:
The program which is building the Loans, Cash, Hold Requests, etc., lists is pc_cir_c0460.cbl. It calls ./com/filter_buf_z37_hold.cbl which has the following logic:

IF Z37-REQUEST-TYPE = "H" OR
Z37-REQUEST-TYPE = "T"
THEN
CALL "io_buf_z37" USING
TEMP-BUF-Z37-PTR
"P"
TEMP-BUF-Z37-NO-LINES
BUF-Z37-LINE-X (1)
BUF-Z37-RETURN-STATUS
END-CALL
END-IF

So the Z37-REQUEST-TYPE needs to be H (hold) or T (title hold) in order for it to be included in this display.

The z37_request_type in the abc50 z37 000009670-000010-0001 is blank/null. It should be "H".
