[Koha-devel] updateitem.pl

[Roche III, Edward]

I understand what you are saying but I am not a programmer by any
stretch of the imagination. I follow and edit the code but to actually a
script is beyond my skill set at this point. So if someone can help me
out here that if not if someone can tell who to contact that can help
that would great as well.

Thanks!

Essentially, I'd write a script to call
C4::Items::ModItem($item_changes, $biblionumber, $itemnumber) where
$item_changes is a hash containing appropriate keys.
perldoc C4/Items.pm is fairy detailed.

Hope that gets you started,
