    expand_doc_bib_hol_usm Does Not Use Column 3 to Limit Fields

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

    Description:
    We thought that it is possible to define specific HOL fields to be exported along with the bib record by running:

    PRINT-REC expand_doc_bib_hol_usm 852,856,866

    When we tried this, we got the ENTIRE holdings record expanded into our extract rather than the specified fields.

    Resolution:
    Though the expand_doc_hol_bib routine reads the values in column 3 as specific fields to be expanded into the HOL record from the bib, the converse is *not* true: expand_doc_bib_hol and expand_doc_bib_hol_usm expand routines do *not* use column 3 in this fashion.

    KB 16384-10226, the ALEPH 18.01 Syslib Guide - Indexing.pdf, and the ALEPH 18.01 Configuration Guide.pdf describe the use of expand_doc_bib_local_notes and tab_mapping to get the 856 field from the HOL record.

    [From Al Rykhus, Minnesota PALS Consortium, via the ELUNA SysAdmin List:]
    In tab_expand I have a line:
    WORD expand_doc_bib_local_notes SYS01

    Then in tab_expand_local_notes.conf I have the following definition:
    [SYS01]
    owners list =
    ACC,ADC,AHT,ATC,BLC,BSU,CEN,CLC,CSS,CTC,CWN,DCT,DNR,DTE,DWD,FDL,FIR,GAC,HCC,HRL,HTC,ICC,IHC,LRL,LSC,MAG,MCA,MCT,MDH,MDR,MDT,MEC,MH
    S,MSB,MSL,MSU,MTR,MWL,NCT,NDC,NHC,NWT,PCA,PTC,RCL,RCP,RCS,RRC,RVL,SBJ,SCC,SCS,SCT,SET,SMU,SPT,SSU,TRC,TRM,TST,UCR,VCC,WSU
    owner tab = OWN
    owner subfield = a
    mapping section = [SYS01]

    Then in tab_mapping I define the fields I want and give them codes that tell me they are from the holding record:
    SYS01 LDR## HLDR Y Y
    SYS01 007## H007 Y Y
    SYS01 008## H008 Y Y
    SYS01 506## u H06 u Y Y
    SYS01 538## u H38 a Y Y
    SYS01 845## u H45 a Y Y
    SYS01 856## uxz3 H56 uxz3 Y Y
