Question

What does the xxx50/tab/tab100 UPDATE-RECALL-DATE parameter do?

Answer

Note: These scenarios apply to items with multiple holds. See Additional Information section for sample results

Scenario A: xxx50/tab/tab100 UPDATE-RECALL-DATE = Y
* Recall is placed AT THE TIME OF LOAN
* Recall Due Date and Recall Date are entered
* Due Date is a shortened loaned Due Date (due to existing holds/requests)
* When Recall Items on Loan (cir-13) is run, it detects that the loan already has a Recall Due Date and Recall Date, so no additional recall is made and the Due Date is not changed

Scenario B: xxx50/tab/tab100 UPDATE-RECALL-DATE = N
* Recall is NOT placed AT THE TIME OF LOAN
* Recall Due Date and Recall Date fields are blank
* Due Date is a shortened loaned Due Date (due to existing holds/requests)
* When cir-13 is run, it detects that the loan does NOT have a Recall Due Date and Recall Date, so a recall is made and the Due Date may be shortened further to the NEW Recall Due Date

Additional Information

* Sample Results from Scenario A: UPDATE-RECALL-DATE = Y
Immediate Recall at time of Loan
effective due date = 11/Dec/2009
Output:
Loan Type Hold Request Loan
Loan Time 04/Dec/2009 16:35
Due Time 11/Dec/2009 23:59
Original Due Date 11/Dec/2009
Loan Librarian TCIRC
Recall Due Date 11/Dec/2009
Recall Date 04/Dec/2009
Number of Renewals 0 (out of 6). No limit on latest due date.
Running cir-13 after the above would not change the due date.

Sample Results from Scenario B: UPDATE-RECALL-DATE = N
cir-13 Recall / not immediate / no recall at time of loan
Before cir-13 is run
Loan Type Hold Request Loan
Loan Time 04/Dec/2009 16:48
Due Time 11/Dec/2009 23:59
Original Due Date 11/Dec/2009
Loan Librarian TCIRC
Recall Due Date [BLANK]
Recall Date [BLANK]
Number of Renewals 0 (out of 6). No limit on latest due date.
effective due date = 11/Dec/2009 (Shortened Loan Due Date)

After cir-13 is run
Loan Type Hold Request Loan
Loan Time 04/Dec/2009 16:35
Due Time 11/Dec/2009 23:59
Original Due Date 11/Dec/2009
Loan Librarian TCIRC
Recall Due Date 07/Dec/2009
Recall Date 04/Dec/2009
Number of Renewals 0 (out of 6). No limit on latest due date.
effective due date = 07/Dec/2009 (New Recall Due Date)
