Problem Symptoms:
Hourly loans (such as those for Course Reserve items) whose prospective due time is after midnight are due at the next morning's opening hour instead of the current day's closing time. See Additional Information below for an example.

Cause:
As noted in the tab16 header: "When choosing '0' or '1', if the due hour is after closing and before 23:59:59, the due hour will change to the closing time of the same day. If the due hour is in the next day (after 00:00:01), the due hour will change to the opening time of the following day."

Resolution:
The following steps are necessary in order to accommodate cases where the prospective due hour is after midnight and needs to be adjusted to a time before midnight, such as 22:00.

1. Save the existing tab16 as "tab16.normal".

2. Create a copy of tab16 as "tab16.late" with "A" (actual time) in Column 8, and "2200" in column 9.

3. Add the following entries (with the correct full paths) to the $alephe_tab/job_list for the days on which it is necessary:

xx 20:00:00 N cp /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16.late /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16
xx 20:00:01 Y p_cir_01.late.log XXX50 p_cir_01 XXX50

xx 00:00:00 N cp /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16.normal /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16
xx 00:00:01 Y p_cir_01.normal.log XXX50 p_cir_01 XXX50
