Implementing v20 rep_change 3162 / v21 rep_ver 17096

Question

Which ./xxx01/tab/import files should the ADD-CURRENT-DATE operation described in v20 rep_change 3162 / v21 rep_ver 17096 be added to?

Description: "A new operation code, ADD-CURRENT-DATE, was added to the set of operation codes available for the fix_doc_do_file_08 fix program. This operation code will be used in order to add a new field to the document that will include the Current Date."

Answer

This rep_change/rep_ver should be included in ./xxx01/tab/import/ xxxx.fix routines for which a field indicating the date that the fix routine was run is desired. (The fix_doc_do_file_08 routines normally have a suffix of ".fix".)

Additional Information

For example, if the following were included in an xxxxx.fix routine run on July 9, 2013:

1 LDR## ADD-CURRENT-DATE FDT,L,$$a

The following field would be added to each bib record (containing an LDR field -- which is every record-- ) that the routine is run on:

FDT $$a20130709
