The borrower pays this charge, so that he/she can go on borrowing, but later finds the book and wants a credit. This fixaccountforlostandreturned is very clever, because it credits the borrower's account with the same amount they paid for the cost of the book. And it's all beautifully automatic, so that the staff don't have to watch for it and deal with it manually. (this is the age of computers, not doing things manually that can be, and are being, done by computers.(snipped) * removed fixaccountforlostandreturned : it was used just once, and Ithink/fear it was highly boggus. It was supposed to update fines when abook marked lost was returned, but it seems it supposed some HLT specific parameters. My opinion is that it's better just to point thefact (that a returned book was marked lost), and let the librarian dealmanually with the fine part (the behaviour depending on the library)
HiIll go through this code and comment it more fully, but yes it would be a real shame to lose this feature, its in use in at least 3 libraries that I know about.
