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

    Desired Outcome Goal:
    Prevent creation of z00p / sending of record to Primo by adding STA $$aSuppressed field to bib record for ADM's with only items which are not supposed to display in OPAC.

    Procedure:
    1. Run the following SQL to produce a file of doc numbers of ADM records which have only items which are not supposed to display in OPAC:

    > s+ xxx50

    set echo off
    set pause off
    set term off
    set show off
    set verify off
    set heading off
    set feed off

    spool suppstatus.lst

    select substr (z30_rec_key,1,9) from z30 minus select substr (z30_rec_key,1,9) where z30_item_process_status not in ('WD','MI');

    spool off;

    (Modify the list of item processing status codes as desired.)

    2. Append your "XXX50" ADM library code to suppstatus.lst lines, as described in KB 8192-1591 (Appending library to each line in file of record numbers).

    3. Run manage-70 (Retrieve Record Keys) in xxx50, using file from step 2 as input, specifying Conversion Type "ADM-TO-BIB", to create a file of the bib record numbers for these ADM's.

    4. Run manage-21 (Global Changes) in xxx01, with the file produced by step 3 as input, to add an "STA $$aSuppressed" field to each record.
