Call number column is blank in Items List

Description:
The Call number column in the Items List in the the Circ and Items modules is always blank.

Call numbers *are* showing up correctly in the full item record (seen when I click on Modify).

{Or the call number may be incomplete: $h but no $i.)

Resolution:
The program is looking for a ./xxx50/tab/edit_field.eng LOC entry for edit-field ID "D". Their ./xxx50/tab/edit_field.eng had an entry like this:

1 # LOC## D B -2

for which the $h and $i were being omitted. This was followed by a
1 L LOC ...
entry which included the $h and $i.

Since the call no. type was "0", the site was assuming that this second one would be used..
But the edit_z30_location program is reading edit_field like this: "LOC^^", that is, it is not considering the class type. So it was using the first entry (which omits $h and $i).

Deleting that entry corrected the problem..

In another case, the solution was to add the "i" subfield to the default "LOC; #" entry.
