xxx50 tab_filing_call_no does not produce correct LC sort

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

Description:
The distributed 16.02, 17.01, etc., usm50 tab_filing_call_no does not produce a correct LC sort. The lc_call_no routine should be inserting special characters -- ! # " -- to create a correct sort.

This SQL shows that it is not:
SQL-USM50> select z30_call_no_key from z30 where z30_call_no_type = '0';

This is happening because the distributed ./usm50/tab/tab_call_no_key has the add_call_no_type line before the lc_call_no line. The addition of "0" in front of the number causes the lc_call_no filing routine to not work.

**The distributed ./usm50/tab/tab_filing_call_no table needs to changed so that the

0 L add_call_no_type

line is *after* the

0 L lc_call_no

line.**

Resolution:
This is corrected in the version 18 usm50 tab_filing_call_no:

0 L del_subfield
0 L to_blank &()-[]<>?,/:
0 L lc_call_no
0 L add_call_no_type
0 L pack_spaces
