    What data is displayed when you specify CNONn as the tag?

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph

    Description:
    The "System Librarian’s Guide – Course Reading and Reserves", page 10, Section 4.2, has the following lines:

    CNON1 $$a Z108-NOTE (first)
    CNON2 $$a Z108-NOTE (second)
    CNON3 $$a Z108-NOTE (third)
    CNON4 $$a Z108-NOTE (fourth)

    but there's just one z108_note field. What data is displayed when you specify CNONn as the tag?

    Resolution:
    There is just one z108_note field. These lines should read as follows:

    CNON1 $$a NT1
    CNON2 $$a NT2
    CNON3 $$a NT3
    CNON4 $$a NT4

    The expand_doc_course program has the following lines:

    MOVE "NT1##" TO FIELD-CODE.
    PERFORM GET-ONE-NOTE.

    IF FIELD-DATA NOT = SPACES
    THEN
    MOVE "CNON1" TO FIELD-CODE
    PERFORM PUT-NOTE-LINE
    END-IF.

    The above shows how the CNONn tags are populated with the NTn data – *not* z108_note data.

    The v20 "System Librarian’s Guide – Course Reading and Reserves" has been corrected.
