[IUG] EXP DATE

["McGranahan, Jamen \(Library\)" <Jamen dot McGranahan at nashville dot gov>]

Using Release 2005:

Is there a way to easily change the expiration date in patron records?
We want to make them all the same, and I know you can use Global Update
for this, but it appears you have to do a Search/Replace in order for it
to work, with the search criteria being the exact expiration date in the
field.  For instance, I can't ask the system to search for 01-01- and
replace it with 12-31- (not changing the year) : I have tried this and
it didn't work.  It appears I have to put in every instance of
expiration dates in our patron file in order to replace it with one
master expiration date.  I hope I am wrong on this, so if anyone has
figured out how to do this, please let me know ASAP.  Thank you!
