    p_file_20: "check_z303 routine failed"; "Z303-ILL-LIBRARY is not valid"

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

    Description:
    The $data_scratch/p_file_20_report has "check_z303 routine failed" messages and the $alephe_scratch p_file_20 log has:

    Error 0201 : Z303-ILL-LIBRARY is not valid

    Resolution:
    The check_z303 program checks to see if there is an Z700 (ILL partner) record for the ILL-LIBRARY in the $pw_library. If not, or if the Z700-UNIT value is not "Y", it returns this 0201 error.

    If you do not use ILL, the USER-REC-ILL-LIBRARY must be blank.

    Additional Information

    Article 000040326 Oracle error: update_cursor z700; ... table or view does not exist is relevant.

    In one case the site asked their database services people how they put the blanks in the spaces where ILL-LIBRARY used to be and it turns out they didn't use blanks, but another "invisible" value of Datatel.   When they re-did the PLIF files to deliberately use blanks, the files loaded properly.
