Your problem may be related to the short 019 field problem I described
on this list last March.  You can check the Syracuse archives for a
complete description.  Look for keywords gto and 019.  If you can't
get to the Syracuse archives, give me a call for an explanation.

   We ran QUIKMERG last night for the first time. It looks like
it went ok, except that the MHI is full of CI and CA splits. How
are other sites running this? Do you run it once with RUNTYPE=UPDATE

COBOL is a lost cause.  Wouldnt waste the bandwith on that.

PL/I has lots of easy to use functionality.  But how many hardware
platforms have compilers for it?

C is the way.  For some, it may be hard to read, but the software libraries
and cross-platform support and development workbenches that exist for it
make it a good choice.  C compilers exist on almost all types of hardware.
I really would like to see NOTIS provide alternatives to BIG BLUE.

Carol -- You must have missed my message concerning global renewal.  It IS
in the 5.2 enhancement lists, under both Patron Charges Index and Charge/
Discharge improvements.  It's even referred to, I believe, in the bill and
fine enhancements; that list is still in process and has not been posted,
however.

The "rewrite" committee received the global renewal request from MANY
NOTIS libraries around the globe!  ...And most feel as you do about it.

I believe you just need to change your security tables.
Check that you have Y for updating in the item record
security under the Service Unit. That should give you a

EVERYbody seems to be interested, Anne!  Global renewal is one of the most
hotly sought improvements in circulation for 5.2.  This appears in two
sections of the enhancement lists that have appeared on NOTIS-L over the
past month or so, the Patron Charges Index list and the Charge/Discharge
list.  No response so far from NOTIS, but I suspect that we'll get this at
NUGM in October.

I wasn't able to get into your catalog to try to replicate your results, but I
did try the same search in the Indiana University catalog and retrieved the
following:

     k=theses and microfiche        28 hits
     k=theses and microfi?         973 hits
     k=theses and microf?          975 hits
     k=theses and micro?            61 hits

The reason that the last figure declines so dramatically is that the system
is searching only the first 100 terms generated by truncation.  If these
include microcomputers, microcomputing, etc., you have probably not been given
any results taken from the first three searches.

Subject:      Due Time

My circulation librarian asked me to query the list about a problem we have
identified with due time in the calendar.  We have set the calendar to
allow one hour after the library opens to check in books without charging
a fine to the patron.  Unfortunately, this does not work and we have reported
it to NOTIS.  They have agreed it is a bug and have sent it to development
for a fix with a low priority.  It appears we are the only library to have
reported it.  At first, we thought it affected only hourly loans, but it
appears to affect all loan periods. The PPQ number is PPQ4431.

Has anyone figured a way around this problem?  Are there others out there who
have discovered it and are just forgiving fines for the first hour the library
is open and discharges books?  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  This will
be a real problem for us once school gets under way.

If we are considering a language change for rewrites, why not C ??
While I am more proficient in PL/1 (and even *more* proficient in
assembler...), I would personally go for C as the "language of the future"...

Of course, its even easier to write bad C (or hard to understand/maintain C )
than it is to write bad PL/1.

Subject:      Re: GTO OVERLAY PROBLEM

        OCLC #26214108 will not overlay because you have the
record for "Village life in northern India" (OCLC# 616282)
in your BIB file.  The 019 field in "Village" is 262141,
the same first six characters as your overlay problem.
Because the 019 filed has only six characters instead of the
usual eight characters; it is not processed correctly by the
Standard number index as 00262141 but as 262141.  Search
"fi no 262141" and you will see the short 019 sitting next
to your non-overlaying 26214108.
        If you edit the 019 field out of the "Village" record
or add the leading zeroes to the number in the 019 field,
26214108 will successfully overlay.
        Short 019 numbers even prevent overlay across processing
units.  This was reprted to NOTIS in Feb. 1992 and is PPQ5528.

We're currently looking at products to enable VSAM file sharing between
CICS and batch for all of our applications.  We're testing ShareOptions
5, CICS Connection and SYSB-II right now.  Anybody using one of these
products (not necessarily with NOTIS)?  Please send your comments and
horror stories to me directly.  Thanks!

Frank,

For your 4th search, does the line just above the command line say:

     Search limited to first 100 terms generated by truncation.

If it does, the truncation of micro? produces more than 100 terms.  Since the
search is limited, it may not retreive as many records as microf?

Subject:      Call for Questions for BNA/NOTIS SIG
Comments: To: notisacq@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu, notis-l@vm.tcs.tulane.edu

 In preparation for NUGM, Stuart Miller has asked for a set of questions from
the BNA/NOTIS SIG.  BNA is also willing to respond to questions submitted in
advance of the meeting. It would be helpful to note beside each question
whether it is directed to NOTIS and/or BNA.
 Please send your questions to me by Friday, September 11th.  I will compile
and forward them to NOTIS and BNA.
 Thanking you all in advance,
   Dina
