I can't speak to what Dan is coding, but one thing that i should point out is that MFHDs generally don't record the date of the next expected issue (or any proxy for when to start a predication cycle), so necessarily some additional information would need to be supplied to pick up .  A direct "export MFHD from ILS X/import MFHD into Evergreen" function will almost certainly need an intermediate step of data processing and extraction.

Regards,

Galen
