I would rather recommend you to change the catalogue framework you are using in "MARC subfield structure admin for 100" choose edit for subfiled a, and click at "display more constraints". There you have a Thesaurus set to PERSO_NAME under Other options. If you leave that option blank you should

Fixed. Koha 3.2.10 contains some bugs in the reports files. Specifically guided_reports.pl has a typo execute_report instead of execute_reports. that typo was causing my problems with permissions. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Upgrade-reports-from-3-0-to-3-2-1

Hi. The Control-number search term is set up in zebra as word or phrase. You can check what is found from the simple-search box by typing: Control-number="123456" and searching for that. However if you use hyphens then that is treated as white space so if you have records with: 123-456 and o

Elaine, Your easiest option is probably to match on 999$c. If you're exporting then reimporting, it is guaranteed to be present and match uniquely. I believe there's even a bug open about adding that as a default matching rule, since lots of people end up needing it. I can't find said bug, though.
