Description:
We switched our 856 links from S to M in edit_doc_999.eng, column 10. The 856 fields stopped appearing altogether on the Individual Bib Record pages. When we switched it back to S, the links reappeared. We have tab_buf_z403 set up as follows:
########## get_buf_z403_bib 856##,,y,*,Y,
########## get_buf_z403_bib 856##,,y,-,U,
Can you explain what else we need to set up in order for this functionality to work?

Resolution:
You have defined XXX01/tab/edit_doc_999.eng as:
## 856 0 N LElectronic Link Y M E W
## 85600 N LEmail Resource Y M E W
## 85640 N LElectronic Resource Y M E W
## 85670 N LElectronic Resource Y M E W

You need to define the same display tags (856 0, 85640, 85670, 85600) in XXX01/tab/tab_buf_z403. Now you have:
########## get_buf_z403_bib 856##,,y,*,Y,
########## get_buf_z403_bib 856##,,y,-,U,

So you have to change either edit_doc_999.eng or tab_buf_z403 so that the display tags in the two tables will match.
