DESCRIPTION: Get Global Patron/Local Patron Information
ACTION : LOANPER
PROGRAM : pc_cir_c0438

Why is the "Booking Request" program being invoked? This is just a regular loan *not* a booking.

Resolution:
Before doing a regular loan it wants to make sure that this patron does not have a booking request for the item. (pc_cir_c0471 calls the get_patron_first_z37 program which calls the get_buf_z37_by_time_range_id program which checks the z37 for such Booking values as Z37-EFFECTIVE-START-TIME.) If it finds no z37 or no such values, it exits and performs the normal c0441 loan.
