    • “Year to year” in OPAC search produces parsing error
    • „Change Object Location (adam-03)“ without result
  • Article Type: General
  • Product: Aleph
  • Product Version: 21

Problem Symptoms:
When trying to search a z39.50 database, the following error message displays:

?€œZ39.50 target error: [111] Too many databases specified.?€?

Cause:
The name of the database in the ./alephe/tab/z39_gate/xxx.conf file has a space. Because of this, the target interprets the database name as two separate databases and issues the warning "Too many databases specified".

Resolution:
Substitute %20 for the space in the database name.
