Description:
We had someone renew overdue items today. I thought I had that disabled. Looking over tab_block_circ:

ABC50 51 ##### 01 999999.99
ABC50 54 ##### 01 250.00
ABC50 57 ##### 01 10.00
ABC50 58 ##### 01 10.00
ABC50 ## ##### 01 150.00
!ABC50 ## ##### 05 04 10000

Column four is blank. Would I need to make it 00 to stop online renewals of overdues or am I reading the manual wrong?

Resolution:
If you want 1 overdue to block the loan, you would specify "01" tab_block_circ, col. 4*.

To make this be used, you need to have check_circ_9_a and/or check_circ_9_b specified for the Renew labels in tab_check_circ:

RENEW-GBL check_circ_9_a
RENEW-GBL check_circ_9_b
RENEW check_circ_9_a
RENEW check_circ_9_b
RENEW-WWW check_circ_9_a
RENEW-WWW check_circ_9_b
RENEW-W-G check_circ_9_a
RENEW-W-G check_circ_9_b
X-RNW check_circ_9_a
X-RNW check_circ_9_b

Note: Since you have "#####" as the sublibrary in col. 3, check_circ_9_a and check_circ_9_b will have the same effect. You can specify one or the other; don't need to specify both....

Then restart the pc_server and/or the www_server.

*Internal Note: In the check_circ_tab_block_item program: IF NO-OVERDUE NOT < TAB-BLOCK-NO-OVERDUE (1) [then block due to overdues]
