Problem Symptoms:
The Due date for sublibrary ABCD loans for patron ID1234 is today. (It *should* be 30 days from today.) Library personnel are having to manually change the due dates to 30 days from today's date.
Cause:
When the system encounters a case where there is no entry for the Group ID/item status/patron status combination (either explicitly or via wildcards) in tab16, it assigns today as the due date and "0000" as the due hour/minute:
* Patron ID1234 has z305_bor_status "03":
* There are no xxx50 tab16 lines with "ABCD" as the Group ID (col. 1) and "03" as the patron status (col. 4); nor are there any lines with "ABCD" as the Group ID (col. 1) and "##" as the patron status (col. 4).
Resolution:
Add entries to the xxx50 tab16 for Group ID ABCD / patron status 03.
Additional Information
util f/4 for xxx50 z305 shows that patron ID1234 has z305_bor_status "03":
02 z305_rec_key
03 id ........................ID1234
03 sub_library ...............XXX50
02 z305_open_date ..............20130604
02 z305_update_date ............20130604
02 z305_bor_type ...............
02 z305_bor_status .............03
<etc.>
The same can be seen in GUI Circ, as "Patron status", on the "Local Patron Information" tab.
