Move FOLIO recalls to available item

Utility that fetches active recalls that have status 'Open - Not yet filled' and loops over them and checks if there are linked instances that are available. If a book is available at the patrons prefered checkout point it will pick that otherwise first available. Recalls made by SKIPBARCODE are not processed. If the utility finds recalls that can be moved it will mail the result to users set in MAILTO. If LIVEMOVE is set to TRUE the utility makes the move.
