These services use a combination of SQL and shell scripting to extract and then edit the patron records. Another custom circulation service is a customization of cash\_05, which allows the user to select specific patron statuses and specific transactions to be included in the output of the report. This custom service uses SQL to select a list of transactions and then passes this information on to standard Aleph COBOL routines to complete the service. } }
