    cir-20: Pickup location of request not valid for transit

     

    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care

     



    Problem Symptoms:
    Running cir-20 (Remote Storage Request Arrival) with input barcodes for sublibrary MAIN requests: "Pickup location of request not valid for transit".

     

    Cause:
    Lack of Sublibrary z305 (Patron's local information) record.

     

    Resolution:
    Create a z303 (Global patron information) record for MAIN, with a z305 Local patron record with a special (sublibrary) borrower status -- as described in article "Items not being put in-transit (due to lack of sublibrary patron record)" (KB 16384-42547).

     

    Additional Info
    This message is produced by program b_cir_20_a under two conditions:

    1. $alephe_tab/tab_sub_library.lng, column 2 (Sublibrary Type), is "3" and there is no z303 record for the sublibrary code 

    2. $alephe_tab/ tab_sub_library.lng, column 2 (Sublibrary Type), is something other than "3" and there is no z303 record for the z37_pickup_location.

    In this case sublibrary MAIN is sublibrary type "1". Thus, the applicable condition is number 2.

     

    The b_cir_20_a program has the following logic:

    * if the pickup location is a sublibrary of type 3, item should be
    * first transferred to its home sublibrary.
    PERFORM CHECK-SUB-LIB-TYPE
    IF SW-SUB-LIB-TYPE-3 = "Y"
    THEN
    MOVE Z30-SUB-LIBRARY TO Z303-ID
    ELSE
    MOVE Z37-PICKUP-LOCATION TO Z303-ID
    END-IF

    CALL "io_z303" USING
    F-READ
    Z303
    ERROR-CODE
    END-CALL
    IF ERROR-CODE NOT = ZERO THEN
    DISPLAY "Error: " REC-IN-BARCODE " " Z303-ID
    DISPLAY "Pickup location of request not valid "
    DISPLAY "for transit"

     

    The pc_cir_c0442 and pc_cir_list_sublibs programs, used in GUI returns, have similar logic.
