    Error messages when saving a record

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

    Description:
    Why on all the records do we get a "Field 999 with text '$$aMONOGRAPH' is a duplicate entry in the INDEX file." message together with a "Field tag 999 not valid" message?

    Resolution:
    The reason you get the message "Field 999 with text '$$aMONOGRAPH' is a duplicate entry" is because all fields except those in
    $data_tab/check_doc_unique_index get checked to see if they are unique.

    To prevent this message, add 999 to this file as follows:

    999##

    The reason you get the "Field tag 999 not valid" message is because you do not have these fields in $data_tab/check_doc_line (which does a check of logical structure/connections within a single occurrence of a field)

    Add the following two lines to $data_tab/check_doc_line and you will no longer get this message:

    AL XX 999 -
    AL XX 999 a 0 -

    Read the header for additional information.
