Items of father record are not displayed in the analytical record.

Problem Symptoms:

A linked record doesn't show the linked items.
When running 'Create Links Between Records' (manage-12) an error message can be found in the log:
Doc <Z103_REC_KEY> has too many links

Cause:
The document has too many links to other records

Resolution:

Suggested Workaround:

Split the main record to different ones with up to 99 links - maybe create a main record for a small range of years/volumes, etc

Additional Information

The error message comes from the following program:

view ./update_z103/update_z103.cbl
IF K > 99
THEN
DISPLAY "Doc: " DOCX-LIBRARY " "
DOCX-DOC-NUMBER " has too many links"
GO TO EX-UPDATE-FILE
END-IF

The program counts the number of links when it collects them into a buffer. When the limit exceeds, the program displays the error and continues to the next document.
To check if it is the problem run the following sql:

select count (*) from z103 where Z103_REC_KEY like ' XXX01000892959%';

Where the Z103_REC_KEY fields has three parts in it:
5 characters for Library XXX01
9 characters for doc number 000892959
2 characters for sequence number which limits the possible links to 99
