    Description:
    On creating a patron record, error "patron ID already exists" occurs.

    On checking the assigned ID, it was found that this was already assigned to another patron.

    Resolution:
    The ADM last-bor-id determines the patron ID which the system assigns. The STA50 util g/2 showed:

    5. last-bor-id 17876 y S ID


    But SQL shows that this was *not* the highest borrower ID:

    SQL-STA50> select z303_rec_key from z303 where z303_rec_key like 'ID1787%';
    **** Hit return to continue ****

    Z303_REC_KEY
    ------------
    ID1787
    ID17870
    ID17871
    ID17872
    ID17873
    ID17874
    ID17875
    ID17876
    ID17877
    ID17878
    ID17879


    SQL-STA50> select max (z303_rec_key) from z303 where z303_rec_key like 'ID1%';
    **** Hit return to continue ****

    MAX(Z303_REC
    ------------
    ID19999

    SQL-STA50> select max (z303_rec_key) from z303 where z303_rec_key like 'ID2%';
    **** Hit return to continue ****

    MAX(Z303_REC
    ------------
    ID29999

    SQL-STA50> select max (z303_rec_key) from z303 where z303_rec_key like 'ID3%';
    **** Hit return to continue ****

    MAX(Z303_REC
    ------------
    ID398

    I have changed the sta50 util g/2 last-bor-id to "40000". It should be OK now.
