    Problem Symptoms:
    Overdue fines are not created on Lost items although long overdue

    Table ./xxx50/tab/tab100 has
    LATE-RET-FINE-WHEN-LOST=Y

    Cause:
    Configuration change

    Resolution:
    no change required.
    See additional information for explanation.

    Additional Information

    Option LATE-RET-FINE-WHEN-LOST=Y was only implemented earlier this year.

    That means, for lost late returns earlier than this date the return fine was not created.

    See also explanation from tab100 header:
    ! N = When an item is declared lost, do not charge any overdue fines that
    ! have been accrued up to this point of time. Do charge the lost-item
    ! charges according to the regular tab34 definitions. If the item is later
    ! returned, refund the lost-item charges according to the regular
    ! LOST-LOAN-CREDIT-METHOD and REFUND-RATE tab100 variables policy.
    ! In addition, create overdue fines at this point for the entire overdue period,
    ! including the period of time in which the item was declared lost.
