    rep_change 2186 (v 22)- Serial item date fields starting from year 1000 should be accepted

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

     

    Description

    According to rep_change #2186 (v. 22) it should be possible to enter dates before 01/01/1800, back to date 01/01/1000 for the following item fields:


            Issue Date
            Exp. Arrival Date
            Arrival Date

     

    How can this be done? I am not able to type in these dates.

    Resolution

    The system's behavior is as follows:

     

    - updates via X-Services can go back to dates > 1000 
    - updates in the GUI clients can only be done via the calendar and go back to date 19. September 1752. This is a technical restriction of the calendar used in the client. 
    - The behaviour of the client field itself has not changed and updates earlier than 1800 will not be possible.
