Description:
When running p_manage_500, many of the item values, including barcode, call number, and description, should be extracted from the BIB record. This is supposed to be done using tab_mng500_translate. However only those values that are hardcoded are being put into created items. Item fields with a Mapping source value in column 3 aren't being inserted into the items.

The p_manage_500 documentation describes col 3 of this table in section 2.2. However the sample table doesn't show how to use this column. The column is entirely blank. Consequently, I am looking at a sample table in USM01 $data_tab for the format. What is the correct format for this table?

Resolution:
The values must exist in a mapping table (e.g., tab_mapping_mng500), then they can be "translated" to other values in the translate table (tab_mng500_translate.bl)

Note: The file should be loaded with p-file-04 (for large conversions, the util_conv was used to load the files).
