Question
We are wondering how column 8 of tab_sip2_sort_bin functions.
How can we configure the sorter to, for instance, pick up items with a DVD prefix (as $$kDVD$$hPN1997.B15524)?

Answer
The tab_sip2_sort_bin-mechanism checks the exact content of the call number of the item (Z30_CALL_NO) - including the subfield - against col. 8 of tab_sip2_sort_bin and truncates it.

If, for example, items starting with $$kDVD (as $$kDVD$$hPN1997.B15524) should be put in sort bin 26 you have to define:

26 # # # ##### ##### ## $$kDVD

This line above would not apply to items with call numbers as "$$hDVD" or "DVD".
