Description:
We have been reviewing our Circulation Tables configuration and did not find the PATRON-LIST-ID-TYPE switch setting configured.

The tab100 header says "This variable has to be defined in the alephe or the usr_library tab100 table."

Please advise.

Resolution:
The default value for PATRON-LIST-ID-TYPE, when not specified otherwise in the ADM $data_tab/tab100, is blank ("00"). This is the normal setting that customers have been using. In this case, the z353 ID is built from the z303_rec_key (z308 type "00").

If you want some other ID (such as the type '02', University ID) to display in the Patron List instead of the Aleph-assigned type '00', this parameter will let you do that.

If you are concerned about leaving it unspecified, you can specify type '00' like this:

PATRON-LIST-ID-TYPE=00
