    Question

    Is there a limit on the number of addresses for one patron record?
    If so, is this an encoded limit or is there a possibility to set it up?

    Answer

    You can assign up to 99 addresses per patron.
    This is encoded in the structure of the program and cannot be changed.

    Additional Information

    The record key of the address (z304_rec_key) is structured as follows:
    12 characters for the patron id (z304_id), followed by 2 characters for a sequence
    The sequence is incremented by 1 for each address attached to the same patron (z304_id).

    Note:
    if you delete an address the sequence will be "reused" as soon as you create a new address
