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

    Description:
    I want to create a fix to be used when I import bibliographical records in batch to ensure that, in the LDR:

    character encoding scheme position 09 is always "a" and
    descriptive cataloguing position 18 is always "a"

    Resolution:
    [From Katherine Mallows, British Library, on Global Aleph Users list:]

    !
    ! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    !-!!!!!-!!-!-!!!-!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    1 LDR## 018 018 FIXED-CHANGE-VAL #,a
    1 LDR## 009 009 FIXED-CHANGE-VAL #,a

    to be included in a $lib_tab/tab/import*.fix file e.g. ldr_standard.fix
    Then called in $lib_tab/tab_fix via a line such as

    LDR fix_doc_do_file_08 ldr_standard.fix
