Display of Due Date in Aleph ("After Recall ...")

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Description:
The Date Due for a checked out item, under "availability" in Aleph holdings, displays as (e.g.):
03/19/10 - After Recall: 12/09/09

In Aleph 18, this would display simply as:
03/09/10

Resolution:
To eliminate the "After Recall: mm/dd/yy":

> cp -p $aleph_root/error_eng/format_due_date $alephe_root/error_eng/format_due_date

and then make the following change in the $alephe_root/error_eng/format_due_date. Change:

0110 0000 L $1 - After Recall: $2

to

0110 0000 L $1

And then restart the www_server.

[The "After Recall" is intended to indicate to patrons what the "estimated" due-date would be if they *were* to place a recall.)
