Description:
With some of our records, we seem to be getting different PST displays in the brief- and full-views, despite having what appears to be the same expand routines applied.

Why aren't we getting the same PST output in the brief- and full-views, and how can we make the output the same?

Here is an example:

("The Journal of blacks in higher education")
http://...

In the brief-view, this record has 5 separate PST entries (under the "Location/Request:" section of the "Location/Call No." column).

In the full-view, this record only displays 2 PST entries (using the "Location/Request" label to identify the PST fields).

We have specified the same "expand_doc_bib_loc_xx" routines for the WEB-BRIEF and WEB-FULL section of our abc01/dt/tab_expand file.

Using util/f/4 and the respective expand routines (WEB-BRIEF and WEB-FULL), we get the exact same PST output:

Resolution:
I believe this is due to the fact that edit_doc_999.eng column 6 (the edit_field ID) is specified as "D":

## PST## f -y D LLocation/Request Y E W


This is what the edit_field.eng header says:

! "L" is used for location (using expand_doc_bib_loc_usm
! and expand_doc_bib_loc_disp) with link to display of
! library info and display of items list

The www_tab_short.eng, in contrast, *does* have "L" for the edit_field ID:

6 L Location/Call No. 04---A03---A 0100 L ## PST
