Wesleyan University's main library Olin has two unsecured 3141 on stack floors.
 No problems in three years except for two stolen power cords.  However we
have secured all thinkjet printers, whatever their location, with Global
Computer Supplies Cable Lock Kit C8248.

We also use this kit to secure all dictionaries and wall clocks
scattered throughout the public spaces of the building.  We have had no problems
in the 5 years of using these lock kits.

I can verify that the UPDATED field in the address portion of the patron
subrecord has never worked.  We tested it rigorously in 1986 when we
first began NOTIS circulation, and I continue to check it with each new
release, in the vain hope it will have become functional.  You're
correct that it's not operational either with batch or online updates.

I can't really speak for the ID expiration changing an update field.
But one other thing that may be of interest is that the OVERRIDE ADDRESS
TYPE does not work if that subrecord was created by batch (and how do we
normally create patron records ...).

One should note, however, that the error itself is an error for 6xx fields.  It
is common and good cataloging practice to have subfields x, y, and z in a
different order.  The MHI programs do not allow for this, and whenver a
cataloger in good practice catalogs these subfeidls accurately, the MHI prgrams
will kick out these fields as errors, and they will not index.  THIS IS WRONG.
I have reported this to NSI, months ago, have never heard a resolution, and have
given up trying.

Subject:      OPAC Timeout and Storage Violations

When we first brought up 5.0.2 we were getting a storage violation
from the OPAC about once a week; sometimes crashing CICS.  Our research
traced it to a section of code for which NSI refuses to supply the
source.  On a hunch we have eliminated the 5-minute inactivity timeout
we were using, and this seems to have eliminated the problem.  Our
suspicion is that the storage violation occurs when the expiration of
the timeout just happens to coincide with someone pressing the ENTER key.

Has anyone else encountered this?  Is anyone else using the timeout
without any problems?

Subject:      How to get ALA working under NET320
Comments: To: Notis Discussion <NOTIS-L@VM.TCS.TULANE.EDU>

There are several requirements to get ALA support working under NET3270:

You must define the workstation address in the CICS TCT tables as an
ALA terminal. This tells NOTIS to send diactrics to the workstation.

Then when you start up NET3270 on your LAN station, you add the
parameter -a   This 'turns on' the ALA display and keyboard support.

In order to see the ALA diactritics, your PC must have a VGA screen.

The keystrokes for ALA characters is very like the TELEX 476L.
The keypad "INSERT" key is the ALA switch.

Appendix G of the NET3270 Workstation User's Guide describes the proper
TCT definition, and how the keys are mapped.  I have put this into
a more user-friendly one page sheet, which I will gladly FAX or mail
to anyone interested.

We have done this by securing our 3164 terminals to a metal plate and then
using a keyed nut to bolt the whole assembly to the tables.  We have also
installed keyboard blocks over the function keys.  This makes it a longer
process to repair a terminal but we have had no equipment disappearing.

Come to think of it, I never had a problem doing a CEMT S PR(DFLCT100) NEW
until after GTO was installed.  The funny thing is that I tried to use CECI to
release the program but it said of course it couldn't find it since it was
disabled so I enabled it at tried again and got the NOTAUTH.  That is what I
find strange since I was using my Systems Administrator logon with ALL
priviledges for CICS like RSL, Sec. Keys, Oper., etc.  Anyway, a cycle of the
partition didn't work either so I had to IPL to fix it.  Any ideas why CECI
wouldn't work?

Kevin Calmes asked about newcopying DFLCT100.  If you have tried to newcopy
DFLCT100 while it is in use, CICS will disable it to protect it.  You have
to enable it otherwise your OPAC will not be available and you will get
pages of abends in your Online Problem Determination Log.  We usually use
"CEMT INQ PROG(DFLCT100)" as the command.  This will give you a line of
parameters.  You can tab over to the next available field on the line and
type "new" to newcopy.  If DFLCT100 is in use, you can tab to "DIS" on the
same line and overtype "E".  This will enable.  Saves some typing.

Just to add a detail to the note from Russ about the 4xx fix --
some subject searches in MDAS were OK, such as 650 and 651.  The
600's were definitely killed and maybe the 610's, although I

Subject:      Re: Terminals in the Stacks

At the Falk Medical Library we have terminals (3164's) in areas that
are not directly watched.  We even have a terminal for inventory use
(logged into staff mode discharge w/other <Fx> keys disabled) and
have had no problem except with the occasional errant 'setup' screen
appearing, which is handled by the little 'rings of disablement' that
can be fashioned from little bits of plastic pipe.

As for theft...no problem again.  The clientele of the library are
by and large intelligent folk, and who among them would WANT a 3164
for a house pet?  I might not feel the same if they were to be
replaced with PC's...but even the end-user PC's have not disappeared
from the public areas.  In fact, the most blatant attempt at theft
occurred in a private, closed, closely monitored area.  He said he
was a 'computer repair person'.

I wouldn't worry about putting terminals in areas which are not
directly in view of the staff.

I don't think you can change the LOAN CODE in a particular Circulation
Situation (you can change the Policy).  Why are you trying to change the
code?  If the LOAN CODE in a situation is changed, ALL item records
associated with that situation will need to have their LOAN CODEs changed
to the new LOAN CODE in the situation.

Subject:      Suppressing ENUM/CHRON data

Has anyone selectively suppressed on spine labels the ENUM/CHRON data from
item records?  Many volumes have adequate enumeration/chronology on their
spines already, making the information redundant, at best.  At worst, it
can be difficult to format a complex ENUM/CHRON for spine labels, and even
harder to explain to processing staff discrepancies and the inevitable typos.
Actually, most volumes falling into this category (bound periodicals) are
spine-labelled by our commercial binder, but our healthy stock of monographic
sets and series have caused us to think about suppressing ENUM/CHRON data
more than once.  Thanks for your comments.

In rely to your message,
   Since you are only logging in OPAC terminals, that counts out your 32
dial in ports.  Now only your 93 OPAC terminals will register.
   We have 83 OPAC terminals. we run LB710 nightly, but run LB720
monthly with yearly statistics.  This keeps all the months on the yearly
report until we run LB740 initialization program against the STACCUM file.
   LB710 is run with upsi=normal for 1st step.  The second step is a delete
/define.  The 3rd step is LB710 with upsi = reset to initialize the file.
   Lb710 takes ups a lot of space if allowed to accumulate.
   LB720 is run against the STACCUM file. STACCUM is a compressed version
of LPCLOGF.
   LB730 is by request only job for audit information on terminal or operator.
   I hope this helps, if not give me a call.

Dan,
My notes from the session I gave at NUGM tell me that the only things
that INSD2 are checked for are addresses and IDs.  For addresses, the
program is supposed to check whether to replace it, delete it (i.e. set
delete date), change valid dates, or update type 'C' addresses based on
your INSW9 switch setting.  For IDs, it checks whether to change the
delete date or expiration date based on the transaction record or INSD3
or INSD4.  For other changes to the record, I found no indication that
the program checks INSD2.

This understanding was reached from a reading of the program, not from
the extensive testing that would be required to be absolutely sure how
the switch works.  If there is an error in my understanding, chalk it
up to my poor reading of Assembler code (and register my vote for a
C version of these batch programs).
