Year column in wrong in OPAC My Library Card (ILL Active Requests & ILL Total Re

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 18.01

Description:
When you view your ILL requests in the OPAC My Library Card (ILL Active Requests and ILL Total Requests), the year column contains the following:

blank if the request is entered via the OPAC

"2004" if the request is a book request entered via the GUI

"1900" if the request is a serial request entered in the GUI.

Instead the year of the journal issue should be displayed here (or the year of publication for a book).

Resolution:
This can be solved by changing tab_22 and tab_tag_text in XXX40 and rebuilding the Z13 records using p_manage_07 as follows.

1. tab_tag_text

a) In the line starting 008 BK replaced the 2004 with ^^^^

b) In the line starting 008 SE replaced the 1900 with ^^^^

2. tab_22

Changed the line that said:

YEAR 1 008 0008

and instead replaced it with:

YEAR 1 ISS## y 260## c 008 0008

3. Finally rebuilt Z13 records using p_manage_07. N.B. this locks the library, so schedule for convenient moment. Doesn't take long for ILL Library anyway.

[Thanks to Matthew Phillips from the University of Dundee for suppyling this problem / solution. ]
