[IUG] Self-Issue and Birth Date field

[Sheila Smart <shs1 at st-andrews dot ac dot uk>]

Hi

I wondered if anyone is successfully using the Birth Date field along 
with the Age Range field in the Loan Rule Determiner Table to exclude 
lending to a specific range of users on 3M Self-Issue machines (or any 
other suppliers' Self-Issue machines)?  For example, I'm testing using 
them together to disallow under-18 year olds from borrowing over-18 DVDs 
and I can get it to work while in Millennium Circulation mode but it 
won't work on our Self-Issue machines - my test DVD won't issue at all 
on them, even to users with no birthdate in that field or a birthdate 
over 18years.  I must be missing something but it looks like, if the 
system has to check the birthdate, it can't issue on a Self-Issue machine?

Any help would be appreciated!
