I did set LEADER/09 to 'a', both by editing manually as well as in the script that I use to generate the marc records. However, this does not solve the issue. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1318 ------- Comment #6 from jmf(a)liblime.com 2007-03-30 17:23 ------- The problem is that these character's aren't MARC-8 encoded, and your record is claiming that it is MARC-8 encoded (because LEADER/09 is set to ' '). Therefore, the transformation to UTF-8 from MARC-8 is failing. You'll have to customize bulkmarcimport to convert whatever encoding those characters are to UTF-8. I hope that helps a bit. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

[Bug 1320] New: Overriding 'Waiting' status to issue item results in misleading messages

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1320 Summary: Overriding 'Waiting' status to issue item results in misleading messages Product: Koha Version: branch 2.4 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: jmf(a)kados.org ReportedBy: oleonard(a)athenscounty.lib.oh.us QAContact: koha-bugs(a)nongnu.org Scenario: - Patron A has a reserve on Item 1. Item 1 has been returned and the item is consigned for the patron--marked as 'waiting' in reserves. - Patron B finds Item 1 on the shelf, because the librarian neglected to set the item aside. - Librarian checks out Item 1 to Patron B, overriding the warning that Item 1 has been made waiting for Patron A. Result: Patron A will continue to see messages on their account (in Intranet and OPAC) that Item 1 is "waiting" for them at the library, even though the item is checked out to someone else. Overriding the Waiting message and issuing the item should revert the entry in the reserves table to its pre-allocated state. I'm marking this bug as 'major' because it's an annoying, public-facing bug that is causing trouble for our librarians. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

[Bug 1319] New: Deletion of waiting item results in orphaned entry in reserves

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1319 Summary: Deletion of waiting item results in orphaned entry in reserves Product: Koha Version: branch 2.4 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: jmf(a)kados.org ReportedBy: oleonard(a)athenscounty.lib.oh.us QAContact: koha-bugs(a)nongnu.org The deletion process should check to see whether there is a corresponding entry in the reserves table which is still marked 'W'. That would indicate that the item is still marked as waiting for a patron. Deletion of the item without removal of the entry in the reserve table results in empty 'waiting' messages on the circulation screen. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

Whenever these 3 characters are encountered, the rest of the string (subfield value) is gobbled and is missing from the database. But, bulkmarcimport.pl imports correctly if these 3 characters do not occur in the MARC data to be imported. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
