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

Problem Symptoms:
The output of the print-03 ("Download Machine-Readable Records") service is written to the library's $data_scratch directory rather than its $data_print directory. $data_scratch files do not display in the GUI Task Manager FileList (only $data_print files), therefore, GUI users are unable to see them.

Cause:
As stated for the "Output file" parameter in the print-03 Help: "Enter the name of the file in which you want the bibliographic records saved. The file can be found later in the library's scratch directory."

Resolution:
Add the following line to $aleph_proc/p_print_03 (after the "cobrun b_print_03_a") to make the output file automatically be copied to $data_print:

cp -p ${p_file_out} $data_print/${p_file_out}
