    Description:
    We need to put block on a few hundreds patrons: to block them check out, renew and put holds on.

    Is there a way to do it automatically? Later we will delete those patrons from the system or unblock them.

    Can I run sql to update z305 tables on ABC50 ... or how I do it?

    Resolution:
    There is no Service for doing this.

    The following SQL can be used in the ADM library. You would need to supply the appropriate "where" clause:

    SQL> update z305 set z305_loan_permission = 'N', z305_renew_permission = 'N', z305_hold_permission = 'N' where ...

    You should do p_file_03 to back up the z305 table prior to running such SQL.
