Hi all, As I mentioned in previous posts, I'm running the Koha 3 developer snapshot that was available on 28-May-2008 in a Xen Virtual Machine running Linux (openSUSE 10.3). The Koha database version is 3.00.00.086.
I'm using UNIMARC with Zebra disabled. I have inserted bibliographic records were in Koha by running the bulkmarcimport.pl script "through" an ISO file (that contained about 9000 bibliographic records of articles): # /root/Koha/misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -c UNIMARC -file /root/myfile.iso ... and, after doing that, I have run the rebuild_nozebra.pl script located in the /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools directory. This also worked well. The problem that I mention in the subject appeared when I tried to *edit* one of these imported records: if I go to the tab 0, click on the the "000 - Record Label" field and press TAB to take the focus OUT of that field, I get the following JavaScript alert: "leader has an incorrect size: 24 instead of 25 chars" I have searched git - http://git.koha.org - and I found this commit by tipaul (Paul Poulain): leader length checking bugfix : 25 and not 24 http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=commit;h=967542e32598bcfe6d35e82a0311b1d54aa60405 Changed file: cataloguing/value_builder/unimarc_leader.pl Diff: ____________________ function Blur$function_name(subfield_managed) { - if (document.forms['f'].field_value[subfield_managed].value.length != 24) { - alert('leader has an incorrect size: ' + document.forms['f'].field_value[subfield_managed].value.length + ' instead of 24 chars'); + if (document.forms['f'].field_value[subfield_managed].value.length != 25) { + alert(_('leader has an incorrect size: ' + document.forms['f'].field_value[subfield_managed].value.length + ' instead of 25 chars')); } return 1; } ____________________ I'm confused. By reading the following page from the UNIMARC specification in the IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) web site, it seems that the original size (24 characters) was the correct one for the Leader / Record Label field: Record Label http://www.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/uni.htm Quoting from that web page: ____________________ Fixed Length Data Elements These data elements are identified by character position within the label. The label as a whole is always 24 characters in length. Conventionally the character positions are numbered 0 to 23. ____________________ Am I misinterpreting the UNIMARC spec? Thanks in advance!
