Problem Symptoms:
The following messages appear in the file-20 (Patron Loader) log:
'
Error (b_file_20_chk_edit_record) : Errors in Z303. Record No 000001
Can not insert record. Match found.

Error (b_file_20_chk_edit_record) : Errors in Z304. Record No 000001
Can not insert record. Match found.

<etc.>

Cause:
The USER-REC-ACTION, ADDR-REC-ACTION, etc., (the first byte in each segment) is "I" (Insert) when the patron already exists.

Resolution:
* Unless it is certain that this is a new patron, the xxxx-REC-ACTION needs to be "A" (Add) rather than "I" (Insert).

* For "A" the program checks to see if the patron exists. If so, it changes the action to "U"; if not, it changes it to "I".
