Description:
When I use the new Suppress button in version 19 course reserves, it does not suppress the bib record from displaying. Instead, both the connection and the bib record display.

What do I need to set up so that a bib record will be suppressed from display in the course reserves OPAC?

Resolution:
The problem was that the word being generated by tab11_word and tab_word_breaking for the STA $$asuppressed field was not "suppressed" but rather "asuppressed".

This is because the tab11_word specified a word-breaking routine of 03 and tab_word_breaking routine 03 lacks the del_subfield routine.

util f/1/28 showed this:

STA $$aSUPPRESSED
Load: /utf/utf_files/exlibris/aleph/prod/abc/abc30/tab/tab_word_breaking
Load: /exlibris/aleph/prod/alephe/unicode/tab_character_conversion_line
Load: /exlibris/aleph/prod/alephe/unicode/unicode_to_word_gen
000002924 0001 0001 asuppressed
000002924 0001 0013 asuppressed

After changing tab11_word column 6 to "01", we see this:

STA $$aSUPPRESSED
Load: /utf/utf_files/exlibris/aleph/prod/abc/abc30/tab/tab_word_breaking
Load: /exlibris/aleph/prod/alephe/unicode/unicode_case
Load: /exlibris/aleph/prod/alephe/unicode/tab_character_conversion_line
Load: /exlibris/aleph/prod/alephe/unicode/unicode_to_word_gen
000002924 0001 0001 suppressed
000002924 0001 0013 suppressed

I see that the usm30 tab11_word, from which your line was no doubt copied, also has this defect. We have requested that the distributed v19 and v20 usm30 tab11_word tables have this corrected.
