WWW Server log contains 'Error: function ILL-LIB missing program <form xml translate ill lib >'

Description

The WWW server logs contain the following errors:

Error: function ILL-LIB missing program <form_xml_translate_ill_lib >

and

Info: Empty table /tmp/utf_files/exlibris/aleph/u22_1/alephe/www_x_eng/read-item.tag

How can this be avoided?

Resolution

The error is caused by the following line in $alephe_root/www_x_lng/global.trn 

z303-ill-library                    ILL-LIB    S

There is no translation program for "ILL-LIB" resulting in error: 
Error: function ILL-LIB missing program <form_xml_translate_ill_lib > 

Correct the line to

z303-ill-library                    PC-TAB-EXP S ILL-LIB

Additional Information

PC-TAB-EXP

returns the text as defined in $data_tab/pc_tab_exp_field.lng
Put in the param-column the relevant entry in the pc_tab_exp_field.lng (e.g. "VENDOR-DELIVERY-TYPE", "ILL-LIB" etc).

Example for ILL-LIB from Demo library usm50

./usm50/tab/pc_tab_exp_field.eng
[...]
ILL-LIB                  L ILL Law Unit                                       ILL_LAW
ILL-LIB                  L ILL HYL Unit                                       ILL_HYL
ILL-LIB                  L ILL MED Unit                                       ILL_MED
ILL-LIB                  L ILL Law Unit                                       HIL

In addition, a sublibrary may be added if the
relevant entry is from pc_tab_exp_field_extended, for example

z305-bor-status                     PC-TAB-EXP S BOR-STATUS z305-sub-library
