    Description:
    How do we create z36-number in conversion? Should we assign 00000001 to each z36 record?

    Resolution:
    The z36_id2, which is built from the z36_number, has to be *unique*. The z36_number seems to link the z31 cash record to the relevant z36 loan record in some cases. (It is bytes 21-29 in the z31_key field.) But I don't think we have worried about this in the conversions. You just need to make it unique.

    The last-loan-number is a util g/2 counter which keeps track of the last number assigned. The program should read this counter and increment it. (An example of a program which does this is ./conv/cv_fix_z36_number.cbl.)
