    Description:
    Attached is a snapshot showing the odd display order of shelf list with numbers. As you can see, the display order is not sequential:

    ...
    bldr vert 3105
    bldr vert 3106
    bldr vert 3107
    bldr vert 1
    bldr vert 2
    ...

    Resolution:
    The SHL (Shelf List) index is using tab_filing #22, which includes the following line:

    22 F lc_call_no

    The lc_call_no routine is described in KB 16384-10097. The problem is that not all the numbers in the Shelf list are LC call numbers. Certainly these are not.

    Here is what the Z11 records look like (in util f/4):

    01 z11_index \
    02 z11_rec_key \
    03 ind_code .......SHL
    03 filing_text ....bldr vert #3105
    03 sequence_1 .....001402033
    02 z11_doc_number ...001402033
    02 z11_alpha ........L
    02 z11_text .........$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h3105
    new key = K, exit = Q, continue = RETURN


    01 z11_index \
    02 z11_rec_key \
    03 ind_code .......SHL
    03 filing_text ....bldr vert #3106
    03 sequence_1 .....001402038
    02 z11_doc_number ...001402038
    02 z11_alpha ........L
    02 z11_text .........$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h3106
    new key = K, exit = Q, continue = RETURN

    01 z11_index \
    02 z11_rec_key \
    03 ind_code .......SHL
    03 filing_text ....bldr vert #3107
    03 sequence_1 .....001300235
    02 z11_doc_number ...001300235
    02 z11_alpha ........L
    02 z11_text .........$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h3107
    new key = K, exit = Q, continue = RETURN


    01 z11_index \
    02 z11_rec_key \
    03 ind_code .......SHL
    03 filing_text ....bldr vert 1
    03 sequence_1 .....001125683
    02 z11_doc_number ...001125683
    02 z11_alpha ........L
    02 z11_text .........$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h1
    new key = K, exit = Q, continue = RETURN


    01 z11_index \
    02 z11_rec_key \
    03 ind_code .......SHL
    03 filing_text ....bldr vert 2
    03 sequence_1 .....002573419
    02 z11_doc_number ...002573419
    02 z11_alpha ........L
    02 z11_text .........$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h2

    <etc.>

    "#" files before "1" or any number.

    The abc01 tab_filing #22 has "pack_spaces" following "lc_call_no":

    22 F lc_call_no
    22 F pack_spaces

    This is causing the extra space -- which is necessary in this case -- to be eliminated. The distributed usm01 tab_filing does *not* have this. The filing_lc_call_no routine does its own pack_spaces (prior to inserting the special character) so there is no need for its inclusion after lc_call_no.

    To test this change you need to restart both the pc_server and the ue_01 indexing daemon.

    util f/1/3 confirms that the change works:

    Enter Filing Procedure (Q to quit)
    Enter values as defined in Col. 1 of tab_filing: 22
    Enter values D/N/F or Space:
    Enter text (Q to quit) : $$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h1
    IN -$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h1 -
    Load: /exlibris1/utf18/utf_files/exlibris/aleph/u18_1/abc01/tab/tab_filing
    Load: /exlibris/aleph/u18_1/alephe/unicode/unicode_case
    OUT -bldr vert 1 -

    Enter text (Q to quit) : $$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h2
    IN -$$bBLDR$$cVERT$$h2 -
    OUT -bldr vert 2 -

    To correct this for all records, you would need to run p_manage_05.
