cir-51 fails to print notices for Lost items
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
cir-51 ("Overdue and Lost Billing Summary Letter") produces notices for overdue items and ready-to-be billed Lost items, but doesn't produce bills for already-billed Lost items.
Cause:
Job performing as specified and designed.
cir-51 looks for z36 (Loan) records with z36_status "A" only. If the z36_status of the record is "L", that is, it has already been declared Lost and the patron has been billed, cir-51 ignores the record.
Resolution:
Use cir-50 ("Overdue and Lost Billing Notices") to print notices for loans which are already in a Lost status.
Additional Information
cir-51 looks for z36 (Loan) records with z36_status "A":
* If the relevant xxx50 tab32 line is "O" (and the p_letter_type in the submission is "O" or "A"), cir-51 prints an overdue notice;
* If the relevant xxx50 tab32 line is "L" (and the p_letter_type in the submission is "L" or "A"), cir-51 prints a Lost bill.
