    match_doc_gen, match_doc_uid and match_doc_uid_2

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Desired Outcome Goal:
    How to match on field 020, if tab11_ind has a020?

    Procedure:
    For match_doc_uid, the tag after "T-" must be exactly the same as in ./xxx01/tab/tab11_ind:

    T020 match_doc_uid T-a020

    Additional Information

    The system takes the tag from the record (020), and normalizes the tag according to the tab_expand INDEX entry.
    Then the system compares the normalized tag and the index.

    The system looks for the exact tag in ./xxx01/tab/tab11_ind. The tab_match header's Help section has this for match_doc_uid :

    If tab11_ind col.1 has 020##, this table must have T-020## as well.

    For match_doc_gen and match_doc_uid_2, the tag and index are not directly taken from tab11_ind.

    These settings work :

    GEN2 match_doc_gen TYPE=IND,TAG=020,SUBFIELD=a,CODE=020
    UID_2 match_doc_uid_2 020


    This does not work :
    T020 match_doc_uid T-020

    It should be :
    T020 match_doc_uid T-a020
