    Description:


    I am trying to get export to Refworks (ISI Research Tagged Output Format) functioning. It works fine, except that on a lot of items I get two PY lines (PY 008## 0008).
    Where is the second line coming from? There's only one 008 entry in the record.
    Refworks is processing a second line and is picking up 0000 as the year for these records.
    Sample output, www-set-mail-777-00, and edit_doc_777 are below.

    Resolution:

    The problem was caused by entries in tab_expand for WEB-MAIL. The Refworks export uses the short-mail as part of the process.
    There may also be related entries in tab_expand under E-DOC-777.
