    Desired Outcome Goal:
    How to differentiate in two different indexes between 1st. and 2nd. call number? Where is the subfield for the call number in field LOC defined?

    Procedure:
    A differentiation of 1st. and 2nd. Call number is not possible when using program expand_doc_bib_loc_usm in order to expand the information from item into BIB record as the subfields are hardcoded.
    With program expand_doc_bib_z30 it is possible to differentiate.
    In file xxx01/tab/expand_doc_bib_z30 you’ll have the following lines:
    # z30-call-no 3 space X
    # z30-call-no-2 9 space X

    In xxx01/tab/tab_expand set
    WORD expand_doc_bib_z30

    Add field Z30##$$3 and Z30##$$9 accordingly in indexing tables xxx01/tab/tab11_word
