User Rejected: missing a mandatory field: statistical category

The PS code assumes everyone should have a Dept/Major, but retirees and visiting scholars don't, so it creates a statistical category but doesn't supply a value, which Alma (rightly) complains is illegal. So the fix is just to not include that category at all for those user types.

It's scheduled for the next PS release (MP 25) in early June. I hope everyone is okay to wait for that.

Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence

PS Code outputs the file non-explicitly as UTF-8 encoding. Should be a CMS fix, to set UTF-8 as charset when opening the file for writing. In the meantime, can fix individual records with potential UTF-8 encoding problems.
