https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42261 Bug ID: 42261 Summary: Inaccurate detection of character-length errors in fixed marc fields 006/007 Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: yannis.kwon@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl This bug resulted from Bug 40272 (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40272) where Koha now shows an error for invalid character lengths in fixed-length control fields, but they are not being detected incorrectly and showing errors where there are none. While there are 17 spaces for 006, Koha is requiring 18 characters and is not recognizing the usual placeholders | and #. This error was noticed only with electronic materials computer files so far where characters 2-17 are supposed to be undefined. A bit more testing for 007 is needed. General behavior/recreation: - When editing a marc record for a DVD, blu-ray, or other forms of computer discs or electronic materials, there will be a warning that pops that says "The following fixed-length control field(s) have an invalid length: 006,007. Please fix." - In 006, coding with anything less than 18 characters will trigger the error, when 006 only has 17 positions - Also in 006, trying to fill those 18 required positions with placeholders | # will not be recognized -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
