Hi Katrin
ah ok, that was a local change then?
Yes, it definitely seems so.
Because it looks like it has always been tinyint:
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/master/install...
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/18.11.x/instal...
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/3.2.x/installe... Yes, I had checked that already.
varchar should work on database side, I am not aware of a code side check, but there could be one.
Well, it doesn't... that's why I thought of a possible code side check...
Anything helpful in the logs maybe?
No, unfortunately I couldn't find anything and I'm fed up doing further tests. My plan for now is to address the guy I suspect to be responsible for this (I didn't mention it but he even wrote a Perl script to automatically fill MARC 952$j with the next free number - including a letter).
Maybe worth checking if deleteditems was altered as well.
"deleteditems" has datatype tinyint. Many thanks again for your input! Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg. Fachausweis Admin Kuhn GmbH · Pappelstrasse 20 · 4123 Allschwil · Schweiz T 0041 (0)61 261 55 61 · E mik@adminkuhn.ch · W www.adminkuhn.ch
