    Description:
    (1) Record 1240189 contains:
    1001 $$a Bruckner, Anton
    24510 $$a S?mtliche Werke, Kritische Gesamtausgabe /


    (2) This is the line in tab11_word:
    100## -fgjklnptu68                            01     WRD  WAU WPE

    (3)
    - CCL search -- wau=Bruckner, Anton -- retrieves 83 records, but title "S?mtliche Werke.." not among them.

    Resolution:
    util f/1/28 ("Display Word Indexing for a Single Record") showed that this 100 tag was indexed only in the W-001 (WRD) -- and not the W-003 (WAU) or W-012 (WPE):

    1001 $$aBruckner, Anton,$$d1824-1896.
    001240189 0207 0001 bruckner
    001240189 0208 0001 anton
    001240189 0209 0001 1824-1896
    001240189 0210 0001 anton
    001240189 0211 0001 1824
    001240189 0212 0001 1896
    001240189 0213 0001 anton
    001240189 0214 0001 18241896
    001240189 0215 0001 bruckneranton
    001240189 0216 0001 anton1824-1896
    001240189 0217 0001 anton1824
    001240189 0218 0001 18241896
    001240189 0219 0001 anton18241896


    The problem was the single space between the WAU and the WPE. Columns 9, 10, 11, 12, etc., in tab11_word are each five bytes. If an index code is just three bytes, it needs to have *two* spaces separating it from the next code:

    100## -fgjklnptu68                            01     WRD  WAU WPE


    The addition of the extra space corrected the problem.
