           Summary: Patron import should warn about invalid characters
           Product: Koha
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Tools
        AssignedTo: joe.atzberger at liblime.com
        ReportedBy: galen.charlton at liblime.com
         QAContact: koha-bugs at lists.koha.org


Per the patch submitted for bug 2627, the patron import now requires the input
file to use UTF-8.

If non-UTF-8 characters are present, the tool does not warn about it.  Instead,
when the affected field is loaded, MySQL will silently truncate the contents
starting with the first invalid character.

The tool should check its input.  If any fields have invalid 8-bit characters,
it should provide a warning and refuse to load the record.
