    manage-50 creates HOL 852 $$c field with both collection *and* call number

     

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

     

    Description

    When manage-50 is run to create HOL records from existing item records, the 852 field which it generates has the call number as part of the $$c subfield (appended to the collection) rather than being in $$h/$$i subfields as it should be.

    Resolution

    The b_manage_50_create_hols program has these lines: 

    STRING 
    "$$b" NEW-SUB-LIBRARY 
    "$$c" NEW-COLLECTION 
    NEW-CALL-NO 
    "$$t" NEW-COPY 
    DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO BUF-DOCX-TEXT (1) 

    The z30_call_no field from which the program is generating the NEW-CALL-NO field is assumed to contain the "$$h", "$$i", etc.    This is what happens when it lacks them.
