Search on prefix retrieves all entries, with and without the prefix

Problem Symptoms:
Two xxx01 indexes, OCLC and VEN, have the same set-up, but prefixes can be searched successfully in the OCLC index while the VEN index returns all entries, whether or not they contain the prefix.
Cause:
The xxx01 pc_tab_sear.eng has
* this line for VEN:
SC XXX01 L Vendor Number VEN
* and this for OCLC:
SC XXX01 L OCLC Number (Orig Rec No) 035
The tab00.lng has these lines:
H 035 IND 35 00 00 Utility Number
H OCL IND 25 00 00 OCLC Match on 035
H VEN IND 25 00 00 Vendor original No.
and tab11_ind, these:
a035 035
z035 035
0358 VEN
<There are *no* lines for the "OCL" index in tab11_ind.>
Thus, the OCLC index being searched in GUI Browse is "035" and this 035 index is using filing routine 35, while the VEN index is using 25.
Resolution:
1. Eliminate the "cut_prefix" line from the filing routine being used for the index which doesn't retrieve the prefix.
Or
2. Change the tab00.lng entry for the index to a routine which does not have "cut_prefix".
