[Koha-win32] KOHA-Win32 Intranet problem - MARC Import - No ISBN not imported to the reservoir

[David Whelchel]

Hi Rob and list,

 

I have KOHA 2.2.7 using the generic win-32 setup from Rob's pages up and running on windows 2003. I am very happy with the implementation and KOHA does a great job for what I want to accomplish. With Rob's help I was able to get the Z39.50 script to work. But I have two more issues (should I be sending separate notes for each issue?)

 

1) the first problem is with the MARC Import process. I generally grab the MARC Unicode UTF-8 string from the library of congress catalog. I then paste this into a file and use the MARC Import function from the KOHA intranet. For MARC records with ISBN number this works 99% of the time. For records that do not have ISBN numbers I have about a 25% success rate. The message says the there is an error in the marc tag  or you don't have an ISBN/ISSN number. Well many of the books are old and do not have an ISBN.

 

2) the second problem occurs when editing a MARC record. If I want to add an ISBN variant on MARC 020 I click on the +- button. I receive an Error on page. The details show this message:

 

   Line: 255

   Char: 1

   Error: Could not get the type property. This command is not supported

   Code: 0

   URL: http://xxx.xxx.com:8080/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl?oldbiblionumber=684

 

Attempts to add various other MARC fields show different line numbers but the result is the same (with the exceptions of filed 856u).

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Dave
