    List of serials subscriptions, with ISSN numbers

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Desired Outcome Goal:
    Produce a list of current subscription titles with ISSN numbers.

    Procedure:
    1. Run the following SQL to create a file of ADM #'s of current subscription (z16) records:

    s+ xxx50

    set echo off
    set heading off
    set linesize 9
    set pagesize 20000
    spool current_z16

    select distinct substr (Z16_REC_KEY,1,9) from z16 where Z16_COPY_TO_DATE > 'yyyymmdd' order by substr (Z16_REC_KEY,1,9);

    2. Use the method described in KB 8192-1591 ("Appending library to each line in file of record numbers") to append "XXX50" to each number: :1,$ s/$/XXX50/ .

    3. Delete the five or six non-number lines at the beginning and end of the file.

    4. Use the file from step 3 as input to Service manage-70 (Retrieve Record Keys), specifying the "ADM-to-BIB" option

    5. Run print-03 ("Download machine-readable records") in xxx01, using the manage-70 output file as input, specifying 245 and 022 as the fields.

    Additional Information

    * serial-06 (Serials - Print Arrived Issues Report), lists every arrived issue of newspaper, etc. Not workable.

    * Export of the titles and ISSNs to an Excel file is desired .
