RE: Data Exchange & Patron recs

["McGranahan, Jamen" <JMcGranahan at trevecca dot edu>]

Sheryl,

Using Millennium, Create List feature (you have to be sure that the type of
list is Patron when creating the list), I was able to export Patron records
via the List just made with these fields:

Exp Date
Gender
PCode2
PCode3
P Type
Birth Date
Home Libr
PMessage
MBlock
Money Owed
Blk Until
<list continues for all Fixed Fields & Variable Fields available in Patron
records>

Ellen-

Thanks for your response.  When you export a list it looks to the b2mtab
file which is only for bib records.  Therefore from the various angles I
try to export I only get a few of the fields and they are the
appropriate fields for bibs.  If I choose which fields to export as you
suggest, I don't have the option of exporting the entire record.

Sheryl,

I've been doing this with Create List.  I create a review file of
appropriate patron records, then choose "Export Records."  You can
select which fields you'd like to export, and choose "Field Delimiter" 
to put in your comma or tab.
