RE: Patron expiration date in WebOPAC display

["Mark Stoffan" <mstoffan at wncln dot lib dot unca dot edu>]

Since several people have inquired I'm going to post the info to the
list.

The trick is to use rapid update to insert a new variable-length field
(such as UNIV ID EXP) into the patron records by copying the date from
the EXP DATE fixed field. Then set the wwwoption PATRON_FIELDS to
display the new fixed field, in our case "e".

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query about displaying expiration
dates in WebOPAC patron records. We now have the solution in hand.

It's great to have this group to turn to when needed.

Thanks,
