Description:
In our production database, we have several hundred records which are missing their barcode (z308 type 01).

This happened when we had a problematic run of p_file_20 and it wasn't noticed until it was really too late to restore all the z30x tables.

I now have a list of ID card barcodes that I want to import into Aleph. When I try to use p_file_20 to add the ID's, I get this error:

Error (b_file_20_chk_edit_record) : failed to find z308-key-type 01 for cur-id XXXXX

It seems it won't add it if it doesn't already exist.... How I can get the 01 ID's added for these patrons?

Resolution:
If these these patrons don't have any barcode record in ALEPH, then they have not had any circ activity. You can delete them. Then p_file_20 will be able to load them OK.

You can take the patron ID's from the p_file_20 error file and use them as input to p_cir_23 ("Delete patron records").
