Re: massive and automatic change on patrons?

[Doug Kariel <dougk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Luis,

Have you tried doing this using create lists and then updating patron
records under patron maintenance?  This works quite well.  It depends on
how large a review file that you have available, but you can break it
down.  I'd suggest you use the system to do this if possible.

Cheers and Happy New Year to everyone.

Doug
