    Description:
    Why are some tags repeated in the authority record display?

    Resolution:
    This UTIL-F-4 using doc :
    ENTER DOC NUMBER : 7928
    FMT L AU
    LDR L ^^^^^cz^^^2200097n^^4500
    001 L 000007928

    This UTIL-F-4 using doc_no_expand :

    The duplication is a result of the use of expand_doc_aut_aut program in tab_expand:

    From the SysLib Guide:
    tab_expand
    expand_doc_aut_aut is an expand program that adds all related terms to the authority record. This is necessary when "related" 5XX or RT fields are not entered in both records but only in one of the records, and when the library has built reciprocal relations using tab07. The expand program is based on the links that are created between authority records (see Authority Database Links Using tab07 on page 14).
    The following line should be defined in tab_expand of the authority library so that when the authority record is displayed from the bibliographic database, all related terms appear:
    WEB-ACCREF expand_doc_aut_aut
    Note that this expand routine is hard-coded for the Search function and does not need to be added in the tab_expand table.

    It is necessary to select one of the following methods for displaying related terms:
    [1] adding related terms manually
    [2] setup in tab07 and tab_expand
