    Question

    Running "Retrieve Catalog Records (ret-01)" in order to retrieve all bibliographic records from the library results in an empty output file.

    Answer

    In the log file of ret-01 you can see that some fields are filled (supposedly by accident) with value "0". This is wrong for e.g. "p_sub_code_a" , "p_code_2" and "p_sub_code_a_2". The fields should really be empty.

    setenv p_sub_code_a "0"
    setenv p_text_from_a ""
    setenv p_text_to_a ""
    setenv p_sub_code_b ""
    setenv p_text_from_b ""
    setenv p_text_to_b ""
    setenv p_code_2 " 000"
    setenv p_sub_code_a_2 " 0000000"
