    360 Core: Library-Specific Holdings: Upload Status Errors

    • Product: 360 Core Client Center

    When we uploaded a file to our library-specific holdings, an error message appeared; what do the error messages mean?

    The table below includes all possible errors that could occur after uploading a file with the library-specific holdings system, listed in alphabetical order:

    Error Message

    Meaning and Suggested Action
    {Alphabetization} Invalid Alphabetization String
    If the Language ID field has "JA" then there must be at least one character of hiragana or katakana in the Alphabetization field.
    The report is accepted, but the alphabetization information in the row (line) where the error occurred is deleted.
    {Date} was not recognized as a date
    The system expects dates to be in the MM/DD/YYYY format. However, any date formatted in an acceptable form (see Valid Date Formats) will be properly handled by the system, and exact dates will be converted to the MM/DD/YYYY format. Any date formatted in an unacceptable form won't be recognized as a date by the system; it will be saved with the file, but the system won't treat it as a real date.
    The report is accepted.
    {ISBN}: Bad ISBN Checksum
    ISBN is properly formatted except for its checksum. Double-check the ISBN to make sure it is correct.
    The report is accepted.
    {ISSN}: Bad ISSN Checksum
    ISSN is properly formatted except for its checksum. Double-check the ISSN to make sure it is correct.
    The report is accepted.
    {LanguageID} Invalid Language ID

    The Language ID field must either be empty or have an appropriate language code (ZH-CN, ZH-TW, JA, or KO). If a field has an appropriate code, then the title in that row must contain at least one character of the identified language.

    The report is accepted, but the alphabetization information in the row (line) where the error occurred is deleted.

    {your entry} was not recognized as a Boolean value. Expect one of the following: true, T, yes, false, F, no.
    The columns "Display Public Note" and "Display Location Note" can only have particular values, as shown in the error message. These are not case-sensitive, meaning the following also can be used: t, True, No, etc.
    The report is accepted, but the row (line) where the error occurred is deleted.
    Bad column header
    The system was not able to parse a list of columns or couldn't get a list of column headers by tab-separating. Review the report and ensure it is tab- or comma-separated.
    The report is rejected.
    Book is not a valid value for Type. Row was not uploaded.
    If your library does not subscribe to 360 Core: eBooks, you don't need a column with the "Type" header. However, if you do include that column, those fields must either contain "Journal" or they must be empty.
    The report is accepted, but the row (line) where the error occurred is deleted.
    Book-specific columns are ignored for journals.
    If the Type field has "Journal" for a particular row, then any field specific to books (e.g., ISBN, Author, etc.) are ignored and not saved.
    The report is accepted.
    Control characters found and removed
    Control characters are not allowed in any fields.
    The report is accepted.
    Different alphabetization already exists. Value did not change.
    Someone else (either ProQuest or another library) has already set the alphabetization for that title and it is different than what you tried to set. (You can avoid this by downloading the latest version of your library-specific holdings database; see Uploading Titles) Contact us if you think the current Alphabetization is in error, using the Support Portal option near the top of this page.
    The report is accepted, but the alphabetization information in the row (line) where the error occurred is deleted.
