The error message

Oracle error: update_cursor z700
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

appears repeatedly in

* the www_server log in connection with the DLF-CIRC-ACTS service when Primo users do "My Account" to display their loans, fines, etc;

* the www_server log when an Aleph OPAC user does "My Library Card"; or

* the pc_server log when trying to save or create a patron record.

Resolution
Define the z700 table in the $pw_library. (Even if the site is not using ILL, the z700 needs to be present to prevent this error message from appearing in the logs.)
