Description:
Is it possible to allow hold requests on available items (tab15 col8), but ONLY when pick-up library is not the item's home library ?

Resolution:
The pick-up location is not an element in tab15.eng, and the value in col. 8 applies to all the items, regardless of their pick-up location.

tab37, in contrast, has all three elements: the sublibrary (col. 1), the availability (col. 5), and the pickup locations (cols. 6 - 15).

If you want to prevent available items from sublib ABC from having ABC as the pick-up location (while allowing unavailable items to have it), you can specify this:

! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
!!!!!-!!-!!-!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!
ABC ## ## ## N ABC DEF GHI JKL <etc.>
ABC ## ## ## Y DEF GHI JKL <etc.>
