    p_file_20 Patron Loader Report: How to get the specific errors

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 17.01

    Description:
    The patron loader report generates an enormous amount of data which often is not needed. How do we get just the errors, if possible?

    Resolution:
    The $alephe_scratch p_file_20 log file lists specific errors.

    Looking at the abc50_p_file_20.05393 file, I see following seven different errors:

    Z303-ILL-LIBRARY is not valid (check tab_sub_library)
    Z303-HOME-LIBRARY is invalid (check tab_sub_library)
    Z305-EXPIRY-DATE is not correct
    Z305-PHOTO-CHARGE should be "C" or "F"
    Z305-SUB-LIBRARY is not valid (check tab_sub_library)
    conflict between Z305-SUB-LIBRARY and Z305-BOR-STATUS (check tab31)
    Z303-PROXY-ID is not valid

    We see the following in the util f/2/5/1 student_ads.txt file for input patrons 24 and 110:

    ILL-LIBRARY...... LAW
    HOME-LIBRARY..... LAW

    Per tab_sub_library, "LAW" is not a valid sublibrary.

    Similarly, the presence of LAW as the sublibrary in the BOR-REC causes the Z305 errors for input patrons 24 and 110:

    BOR-REC # 04
    ACTION...... A
    SUB-LIBRARY. LAW
    TYPE........ 00
    STATUS...... 22
    EXPIRY-DATE.
    REG-DATE....

    This "conflict between Z305-SUB-LIBRARY ..." error can occur in v18-up when you have a BOR-REC "SUB-LIBRARY ... ALEPH" record in your input file, and just one ADM library and USER-SHARING=N. In this case you do *not* need or want an ALEPH BOR-REC (you need an xxx50 BOR-REC). The ALEPH BOR-REC should be removed from your PLIF input file.
