Recalled Items show original due-date instead of recall-due-date
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 21
Problem Symptoms:
Recalled items show the recall-due-date as the due-date in the GUI item display (correct), but, the due-date-*before*-recall in the Web OPAC (incorrect).
Cause:
This line in pc_server_defaults:
setenv due_date_format 1
while www_server.conf has:
setenv due_date_format 3
Resolution:
To make the OPAC display like the GUI,
1. change pc_server_defaults from:
setenv due_date_format 3
to:
setenv due_date_format 1
2. restart the www_server.
Additional Information
In the case of the GUI, the due_date_format program is using ./error_eng/format_due_date line 01013:
0103 0000 L Due date: $1 - Recalled
while, in the case of the OPAC, it's 0101:
0101 0000 L Effective due date: $1
To display *both* dates, specify:
setenv due_date_format 4
Then the due_date_format program will use this entry from ./error_eng/format_due_date:
0104 0000 L Recall due date $1 Original due date: $2
