    Description:
    Title requests are not working properly in certain cases: the title-request screen displays "v." for each copy of the title -- even though this title is not multi-volume and these items are multiple copies of the title, not multiple volumes.

    Resolution:
    The Title request display uses the z30_enumeration_a field to distinguish multi-volume titles -- in which case you need to display each volume. If this field is populated, it assumes that the title is multi-volume.

    ABC50 item 003895422-000050 has "c.3" in the z30_description field and "3" in the z30_enumeration_a. This title is not multi-volume and the inclusion of the "3" in the z30_enumeration_a is incorrect.

    I used SQL to delete the "3" from the z30_enumeration_a field of item 003895422-000050. The title-request for this title now displays correctly.

    The following SQL shows that there are 27,177 cases in abc50 where the z30_description has 'c.' and the z30_enumeration_a is not null.

    SQL> select count(*) from z30 where z30_description like 'c.%' and z30_enumeration_a is not null;

    COUNT(*)
    ----------
    27177

    You should:

    1. confirm that these are cases of multiple copies rather than multi-volume

    2. run p_file_03 to back up the z30 table

    3. Use SQL to make the z30_enumeration_a = null when z30_description like 'c.%'.
