    Description:
    We want to move our old system number, currently in the 001 field to an 0359 field and replace it with the new Aleph system number.
    What steps are required?

    Resolution:
    This fix has 1 step in a generic_fix file and 2 steps in the tab_fix file.

    First copy the old system number currently found in the 001 field to a new 0359a field.
    ABC01/tab/import/fix001
    1 001 COPY-SYSTEM-NUMBER 0359 ,L,a

    Next place that fix in the ABC01/tab/tab_fix file and add an additional step after it to overwrite the 001 field with the current system number. Note that the order is important here.
    FX001 fix_doc_do_file_08 fix001
    FX001 fix_doc_001 OVERWRITE

    Once those files are ready and the pc_server is restarted, run p_manage_37 with the FX001 fix on all the records, for example:
    ABC01,DOC_LIST,,000000000,000324945,abmanage37,FX001,Y,MASTER,catname,00,
