Borrower high usage count

Learn how to create and print the Borrower high usage count in Amlib.

There are several report templates to count high Borrower usage. The report templates are designed to show items used more than 3, 6, 10 or 100 times within a specified period (using the F7 Where statement). The report templates will list the title and the number of times used.

  • &BORHCNT.QRP - Shows transaction count (available on request)
  • &BORHCNTC.QRP - Shows transaction count by Class (available on request)
  • &BORH3.QRP - Shows count where transactions > 3
  • &BORH6.QRP - Shows count where transactions > 6
  • &BORH10.QRP - Shows count where transactions > 10
  • &BORH100.QRP - Shows count where transactions > 100

The reports are run against the Borrower History. Users that delete data from the Borrower History table need to be aware of the limitations of results.
