Description:
We have been experiencing some difficulty with the generation of fines for one of our sublibraries.

The sublibrary, ABCRB, item statuses - Reserve 3 Hour (In Library Use) and Reserve 3 Day Loan - are not generating fines for patron statuses 51, 56, 57 and 64. This sublibrary was brought on approximately 1 month ago.

Resolution:
Looking at the third item, barcode 1500000023, we see that it belongs to sublibrary ABCSB (not ABCRB), with item status 03:

02 z30_rec_key \
03 doc_number ................000263241
03 item_sequence .............000010
02 z30_barcode .................1500000023
02 z30_sub_library .............ABCSB
02 z30_material ................BOOKS
02 z30_item_status .............03


This is the Z36H loan history record for this loan:

01 z36h_loan \
02 z36h_time ....................200804241453497
02 z36h_rec_key \
03 doc_number .................000263241
03 item_sequence ..............000010
02 z36h_id ......................001
02 z36h_number ..................000015972
02 z36h_material ................BOOKS
02 z36h_sub_library .............ABCSB
02 z36h_status ..................A
02 z36h_loan_date ...............20080423
02 z36h_loan_hour ...............1305
02 z36h_effective_due_date ......00000000
02 z36h_due_date ................20080423
02 z36h_due_hour ................1330
02 z36h_returned_date ...........20080424
02 z36h_returned_hour ...........1453
02 z36h_item_status .............03
02 z36h_bor_status ..............57
<etc.>


util f/2/10 shows this:

TAB16 line does not exist <<<<---------------------------------------------------


And, indeed, doing a grep for 'ABCSB 03' in tab16, we find that there are no such lines:

ABC50-ALEPH>>grep 'ABCSB 03' tab16
ABC50-ALEPH>>

See KB 8192-4555 for a discussion of overdue fine calculation in general.
