tab37 / pickup list is empty; single-character sublibrary

Description:
I'm setting up request pickup locations in tab37, and find that any time I put the Hodges sublibrary (code = "H") in the first position of the list of sublibraries for a given line, the line is ignored, either going to the default line (;;# sublibrary), or failing to provide a list of pickup sublibraries at all (if H is first on the ;;# line). Results are what I'm seeing in the GUI client, however in previous testing I noted similar difficulties in the web opac displays as well.

I can use "H" elsewhere in the list, as long as it isn't the first entry. This line works:

SWN ## ## 75 # AGVET H MED MUS SWN

This line does not work (pickup list comes up blank):

SWN ## ## 75 # H AVGET MED MUS SWN

The problem is we would like to have Hodges (H) be the first listed pickup location for some materials.

Resolution:
I have a feeling that this could have to do with the fact that the "H" sublibrary code is just a single character.

Do you have any other 1-character codes? If so, please see if they behave the same as "H".

Resolution: Site found that "H" did not work as first code. They had to have "AVGET" first -- which is *not* what they wanted.
