    Patron Barcode not appearing in some notices (v16)

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 16.02

    Description:
    We run overdue-summary reports that show the patrons barcode but when we run the cash summary and the Lost Item Bill, patron barcodes do not appear.

    Is there a configuration that needs to be made/changed? I found KB RC 000924 but that seems to be for additional ids and also appears to be for the specific notices that are called out. Please advise.

    Resolution:
    It is not possible to consistently display the "Barcode" field across all XSL forms; that is why this information does display in overdue-summary-0-01.xsl but not in lost-material-bill-m.xsl and cash-summary-00.xsl.

    Some background information on XSL style sheets that may be helpful to you in future configurations:

    Funcs.xsl calls funcs-address.xsl and is called by all three of these XSL forms.

    The barcode information comes from the patron-address function in funcs-address.xsl and it's called in the same way for each of these forms. The barcode comes from z308-key-data.

    If the field was suppressed using the *.trn TO-BLANK function, then the field would appear in the XML file although it would be empty.
