    Description:
    We get the message "Unable to find item" in the GUI Circ, trying to locate item barcode b64266.

    Resolution:
    SQL can find this item OK:
    abc50@ALEPH18> select z30_rec_key from z30 where z30_barcode = 'b64266';
    **** Hit return to continue ****
    Z30_REC_KEY
    ---------------
    000363635000010

    I'm thinking the problem could be with barcodes beginning with a lowercase "b", such as the following: ...
    [From site:] I changed one item's barcode to start with 'B' and it loaned perfectly fine. It also appears that the uppercase is understood in the Item barcode field - just like with patron barcode fields.

    Jerry used this SQL to correct these:
    SQL> update z30 set z30_barcode = 'B' || substr (z30_barcode,2,29) where z30_barcode like 'b%';

    SQL> commit;
    Be sure to run the file-03 Service on the z30 and contact Ex Libris Support before doing any such update on your own items.

     

    See the article "  GUI Circ: "Unable to find item" error -- even though the barcode *does* exist " for a different cause.
