Comments: To: notis-l@tcsvm.bitnet

I am trying to sort a SAS output dataset.  I get the message "sortsize value
is less than the minimum required by you system sort utility.  The sort
utility may terminate abnormally." and the predicted abort. Using the
SUG:Basics Manual and the SAS Companion for the VSE Operating System, I came
up with a number of things to try involving SORTSIZE= in the proc statement or
in an OPTIONS statement or both.  All tries resulted in the same message and
abort.  Any suggestions?

Does anybody in NOTISLand use a DEC VT3xx/4xx terminal (connected to a 7171)
with the ALA Character Set for Cataloging work?

Thanks,

Announcing NOTIS 4.7 at McGill.

NOTIS 4.7 is our name for NOTIS 4.6.1 with the 5.0.2 OPAC added into the same
production region as a new transaction.  The new OPAC suffers from using a
static 5.0.2 MHI, generated in batch, but is otherwise fully functional.  The
4.6.1 MHI continues to serve for staff mode searching and is updated online.

For details, look for the session on Installing New Releases at NUGM.  For a
tryout, use the telnet address below.  My colleague in systems programming has
been tuning for a solid week now, so response time off peak is quite good.

I would like to thank Mark Hinnebusch and Marty Johnson of FCLA, as well as Jeff
Huestis of Washington University, without whose help we could not have attempted
this.  In addition Michael J Stephens' NOTIS-L contributions of last December
were invaluable in getting the keyword indexing job to run, and Alan
A-Manifold's one-liner to get the termid back was a big crowd pleaser.  Thanks
also to the many contributors to NOTIS-L whose descriptions of 5.0(.x) gave us
so many good reasons to choose this route.

REMEMBER!!!   It's Still Not Too Late!  REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APPROACHING!!!
_______________________________________________________________________________

The Library Paraprofessional Development Group of the University of Florida are
holding their First Annual Paraprofessional Development Conference, February
20-21, 1993 at the Holiday Inn - University Center in Gainesville, Florida and
wants to welcome all interested paraprofessionals.

              REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS POSTMARK OF NOVEMBER 4, 1992

The registration fee of $90 includes:  Conference introductory kit, breakfast
and lunch buffets Saturday and Sunday, banquet Saturday, attendance at all
lectures and panel discussions and two roundtables (from a choice of twelve,
including all aspects of library work -- circulation, reference, cataloging,
acquisitions, interlibrary loan, reserve, children's services, adult services,
documents, periodicals/serials, administrative services, and preservation).

The Conference is designed to include information on all types of libraries
as well as all aspects of library work.  Paraprofessionals across the country
are expected to attend.  An ideal chance to interact, develop contacts,
encounter first-hand knowledge of new technologies impacting on traditional
library procedures, and perhaps to get some individual attention from people
who can help you solve problems.  Tours of campus libraries and opportunities
for some hands-on experience are possible if arranged in advance.

No kidding...if the same tactics are used as last year, the 'BSR slush

It is very early in the morning so I am sure I am missing something obvious;
however, does this message say that in OPAC you cannot search by author or
title?

Subject:      OPAC SIG POSTER SESSION

The NOTIS OPAC SIG is developing a poster session which showcases NOTIS
training ideas for staff and users.  If you have any handouts, brochures,
videos, tutorials, etc., that you'd be willing to share, please volunteer
samples for this poster session.  If you are interested, this is what we need:

1.  Approximately 250 copies of handouts, etc., for distribution.  Remember,
what may be out of date at your site may not be at another site.  NOTE: If
you are able to bring only one copy, we will use it for display.

2.  Handouts and/or display items should be delivered to Brenda Turner or
Mary Popp by THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8 AT 10 PM.  Items may be delivered one of two
ways --  1.  ship items directly to Palmer House in care of Brenda Turner or
Mary Popp; 2. leave items at front desk of Palmer House with message for
Brenda or Mary.

3.  Contact Brenda Turner at bturner@UKCC.uky.edu if you would like to
participate.  Provide your name, position title, site name and address, e-mail
address and title of item(s).  This information will be used to generate a
list of contact persons which will be made available at the poster session
and NOTIS-L one week after NUGM.  If you know of individuals who do not
subscribe to NOTIS-L but may be interested, please refer them to my snail
mail address and phone number below.

Come on! Let's avoid re-inventing the wheel--share those wonderful ideas!

Colegate - forgive an ignorant misinterpretation of your query if it
is one (I don't know specifically about LBC30), but do you mean SERIALS
holdings from your union list tapes?  If so, the reason you send them to
BNA is that the OCLC union list holdings record is not in a MARC or even
MARC-like format and therefore require further processing for the system to
recognize them.  It is separate from but linked to the bibliographic record.
BNA takes the OCLC "tags" and reformats the data into an 852 field in the
bibliographic record.  The data can now be recognized by the loader.

Subject:      Unusual happening on foreign currency conversion, part 2
Comments: To: NOTIS-L@TCSVM.BITNET, notisacq@cuvma.bitnet

You may recall that in August I put a notice on these two listserves regarding a
curious happening when we were paying an invoice in Italian lira.  A payment of
3,000,000 Italian lira was converted correctly, but showing up as -1294967.30
lira in the approved payment statement in the order record. We have had several
more instances of this in production since then.

Today I did some testing in our test region and found that the fund records are
updating correctly in these cases, but that at some point between 2,100,000 and
2,200,000 lira the system fails to record the correct amount in the order record
payment statement after the invoice is approved.  2,200,000 lira is recorded as
-2,094,967.30 in the O/P/R payment statement after the invoice is approved.  A
payment of 2,100,000 lira shows up correctly.

We are reporting this to NOTIS.  Can anyone else replicate this problem in your
test region?

To answer the few questions which were raised in response to my
previous message:  We are on NOTIS 5.0; the amounts were not changed at the time
of approval (at least in my testing mode today and since the results were the
same, probably not in our production examples); the currency rate did not change
between creation of the p statement and approval; the currency codes in the
order records (in production) were different (one, usd, and the other, itl; in
testing, the currency code in the order record was usd in all cases).

I have been puzzled by various references to 5.1 in production - are these
only the beta sites or is 5.1 more widely available than that?? I didn't
think it was going to be released until Nugm or roundabout. What made me
wonder particularly were some items on the Notis enhancement list that
related to 5.1 which was a bit alarming if it hasn't already been issued.

An unrelated question - I hear it is already pretty cold in Chicago - I
usually count on it as late summer, but I've heard of 6 Degrees (Centigrade!)
which makes it same as deepest winter here. Any NUGM weather forecasters
available??

Carolyn,

Do you have Anne's Net-address?  I'd greatly appreciate the
oppurtunity to get some feedback on this package.  We are definately
going to buy the package (already approved).  But as the lowly
peasent who currently inputs all the MANUALLY collected data....

I want to hear more on the specifics.  If it works like the
literature says it will be the answer to my prayers.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the verification that I'm not crazy.  I had one of the
Cmputer Center guys log in with FTP Software's TN3270, and his works
fine too.  So, I guess it's a Clarkson bug.  Now that I have this
started, any suggestions on alternatives to the Clarkson TN3270 that
won't break my budget?  And that I can get FAST!
