I thought this to be a website about sharing code that could be used in libraries.  If that's the case, then send email to george.brenda@comcast.net.  I have free source code for an OCLC Connexion macro that I wrote, that I want to share. That's my home email, which I won't check until the evening, so don't expect any replies during normal work hours.  Also, if anybody can direct me to a way to do that through Code4lib, that would be helpful.
 +
 
 +
Obviously, the code would need to be modified to use elsewhere, as this is tailored for out needs.  But, it's profusely commented, so that might not be such a large job.
 +
 
 +
The code, 3600+ lines, is too large to post here, I assume.  Here is the latest description:
 +
 
 +
Overview.
 +
 
 +
At the core of what Cataloging!EditRecordER  does is the presentation of a dialogbox
 +
(titled Options) where the user can make various choices about
 +
how the record on the screen in Connexion is to be checked,
 +
and how lines of information are added to that record. The user
 +
makes those selections in drop-down list boxes and option boxes,
 +
clicks the ok button, and then the program runs. Many of the
 +
choices that the user makes have to do with what the 949 item line
 +
should look like.  The user makes those selections, and the
 +
program builds the item line, and adds it to the record (unless the
 +
090 analytic choice is selected).  Aside from that, the biggest
 +
part of what the program does is read the record and alert the
 +
user about various aspects of what it finds.  It acts as a second
 +
pair of eyes.  In many cases it finds things in the record that are
 +
deemed unacceptable, either for that type of cataloger, or for the
 +
continuation of the program itself.  In most cases it warns the
 +
user and then either shuts down, or allows more highly
 +
trained/experienced users to choose to continue the program run.
 +
In other cases, after the user has closed the Options dialog box,
 +
the program checks for incompatible choices, warns the user, and presents
 +
the Options dialog box again, with adjusted default selections, for
 +
the user to choose again.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Detail List.
 +
 
 +
It...
 +
- Writes some user selections to a file & reads them from
 +
  that file next time program runs; user can accept them
 +
  as defaults, which requires no action by the user,  or
 +
  make changes in the Options dialog box.
 +
            *Cataloging level (topcat, monograph, or fastcat)
 +
            *Source for call#
 +
            *retrocon

            *949 recs/bin initials
 +
            *barcode reader
 +
            *multiple volumes
 +
- Notifies user if tools > options set to print to printer
 +
  instead of file. (Record must be printed to file, for holdings
 +
  check.)
 +
- Checks for Audn: d - unused at our library
 +
- Disallows Retrocon & Analytic choice (together).
 +
- Notifies user if book is held in our library. Stops program for
 +
  fastcatting, allows others to continue
 +
            * Warns user to check holdings, if program fails to
 +
      find holdings information.
 +
- For fastcatters. checks for continuation indications, &
 +
  ends program if found
 +
            * checks for Dtst: m
 +
            * checks for 2nd date 9999
 +
- Checks tag 245 2nd indicator, warns user if incorrect - for
 +
  English language records only.
 +
*Warns user if Fixed Field Lang: isn't Eng (English), &
 +
that 245 indicators need checking.
 +
- For fastcatters, checks for Elvl: that isn't blank or 4.
 +
  Warns user, ends program, if found.
 +
- Checks Blvl.  If not m, ends program for fastcatters,
 +
  allows others to continue.
 +
            * warns user if Elvl is neither s nor m
 +
- Allows user to quit program at numerous points during program run.
 +
- Modifies 049 field to reflect branch.  Ends program if unsuccessful
 +
- For fastcatters, checks for DLC DLC or PCC.  Allows user to continue
 +
  or quit.
 +
- Automatically checks for call# in 050 tag & makes that the default
 +
  choice, if found, in Options dialog box.  If not found, checks 090
 +
  tag in the same way.  (Most of the time, an existing 050 call# is used;
 +
  Most of the remaining time, the 090 call# is used.)
 +
- Extracts call# from tag that user selects, for inclusion in 949 item & label.
 +
- Checks call# line for 2nd call#.  For fastcatters only, program ends.
 +
- Checks call# for PZ call# > 1199.  For fastcatters only, program ends.
 +
- Checks that, if Miniature Scores branch is selected, 1st 2 letters of
 +
  call# are MS.  Ends program if necessary.
 +
- Allows up to 40 volumes.
 +
            *Numbers the volumes
 +
            *Disallows non-numeric entries for number of volumes.
 +
            *Disallows number over 40.  This can easily be changed, but there
 +
            should be some upper limit so that program doesn’t add e.g.
 +
              800 item lines to a record.
 +
- Checks length of barcode
 +
            *Checks for whole barcode, if barcode reader checkbox
 +
            is checked.
 +
            *Checks for partial barcode, if barcoderbarcode reader not selected
 +
- Checks that barcode is numbers only. (typo check)
 +
- For multiple volumes, reminds user...
 +
*about entering barcode information for each volume.
 +
*about putting a barcode label on each volume.
 +
*about entering disk information for each volume,
 +
if disks checkbox is selected.
 +
- Writes 910 line to record.  Warns user if initials weren't found in
 +
  file.
 +
- Writes 949 recs/bin line to record. Warns user if initials weren't found in

  file.
 +
- Reminds user to write call# to 090 tag, for analytic branch books.

Maybe somebody will see this - or not.

I thought this to be a website about sharing code that could be used in libraries. If that's the case, then send email to george.brenda@comcast.net. I have free source code for an OCLC Connexion macro that I wrote, that I want to share. That's my home email, which I won't check until the evening, so don't expect any replies during normal work hours. Also, if anybody can direct me to a way to do that through Code4lib, that would be helpful.

Obviously, the code would need to be modified to use elsewhere, as this is tailored for out needs. But, it's profusely commented, so that might not be such a large job.

The code, 3600+ lines, is too large to post here, I assume. Here is the latest description:
