How to retrieve items with barcode beginning with "B" (or other prefix)

Description

We're trying to do some cleanup of our catalog and would like a list of all the items that have barcodes beginning with "B". 

Resolution

It would seem that a search on barcode could be performed in the GUI or the OPAC and the results saved to the server.  In this case, since that didn't seem to work, we did the following:

 * made sure that this line was present in the xxx01 expand_doc_bib_z30:

# z30-barcode                         5 space      X

 * added the following line to the xxx01 tab_expand:

RET        expand_doc_bib_z30 

 * ran the ret-01 Service with the following parameters:

setenv p_code "Z30##" 
setenv p_sub_code_a "5" 
setenv p_text_from_a "b" 
setenv p_text_to_a "bz" 

If you want title info, etc., you could use this output (of record numbers) as input to a print Service, such as, print-03 or print-08.
