Fines for Closed Days

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 17.01

Description:
Tab 17 has been modified to show closed days for October 30-31 and November 03.

From util/f/2/8, the days for the sublibrary ABCML are shown as closed.

The util a/17/1 routine was run to ensure the immediate application of the changes. However patrons are still being charged fines for these closed days.

Attached is a file showing the fines being applied. This file was created from within the Util, but it is a reflection of what is happening from within the Ciculation GUI.

Resolution:
The problem is that you are specifying Fine Method #7 in tab16, column 14:

! 1 1 1
! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 4 5 16 7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
!!!!!-!!-!!-!!-!-!!!!!!!!-!!-!-!!!!-!!!!-!!!!!-!!!-!!!-!-!-!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!-!!!-!!!-!!-!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!!-!

ABC16 01 ## 07 + 00000014 00 A 2400 0000 00025 010 010 7 + 00000014 007 000 01 D028 0000025.00 000 0

Fine method 7 is a "total days" method:

! 7 - include recall - behaves like type 4 (total days)

The equivalent "open days" method is "D":

! D - include recall - behaves like type 2 (open-days)

You need to change tab16 column 14 from "7" to "D".
