Description:
In our ABC60 library, we have found two z13u records with an alpha character in the z13u_user_defined_4 field. The ABC60/tab/tab22 defines this as

ABC60/tab/tab22:
USER-DEF-4 1 LDR

02 z13u_rec_key \
03 doc_number ................003865628
....
02 z13u_user_defined_4_code ....LKR
02 z13u_user_defined_4 .........a000776976


02 z13u_rec_key \
03 doc_number ................002948925
....
02 z13u_user_defined_4_code ....LKR
02 z13u_user_defined_4 .........W000524159


These should be completely numeric fields. How did the alpha characters get there and how should these be corrected?

Resolution:
The z103's look like this because the LKR fields in the ABC60 doc records they come from have these [erroneous] characters.

ABC60 003865628:

LKR L $$aHOL$$lABC01$$ba000776976

ABC60 002948925:

LKR L $$aHOL$$lABC01$$bW000524159

This happens because the cataloger types this data into the field at some point.

It is possible, using the ./abc60/pc_tab/catalog/permission.dat, to prevent the update of the LKR field by catalogers.
