Reverted edits by 77.37.2.31 (Talk); changed back to last version by Wickr
Anyway, this is the 1st part of the source code for an OCLC Connexion cataloging macro. It's 3600+ lines, including lots of whitespace and comments, so it wouldn't all fit. Plus, it seems to get formatted automatically in a completely unhelpful way. If you can get past that, and use this by tailoring it to your library, go for it. yes, I wrote all of it.
Eq2gRH ========================================================= 'NOTE1: <IsNumeric doesn't seem to work as advertised. I made a hreffunction, IsNumber' that does.  ' MODIFICATIONS/VERSIONS (Better late than never.)'="http==================================================' 5/21/4 - When this program runs, users have already copied the .b# from III,' and they paste it into the CatME record after CatER ends. CatER' copies the .b# from the clipboard, puts it into fBNumber, puts it' into the recs/bin 949 line, and then clears the clipboard. ' 6/2/4 - Changed label printing, to go through View menu. It's a shorter,' command. Also, if there's no holding library entered for a branch,' this method makes that clear. With the old method, the label simply' wouldn't print, if there were not a holding library for that branch. ' 6/18/4 - Fixed infinite loop bug in Sub SixFifties; also set that sub up to warn users' if there are no 650 0 (2nd indicator = 0) or 650 1 (2nd indicator = 1) in' a juvenile record ' 6/21/4 - Went back to old label printing method because, for some people, the sendkeys' timing didn't work, and they had a print dialog box they had to close manually. ' 8/24/4 - Put in a check to make sure fBnumber$, which is read from the clipboard, actually' holds a bibliographic record number. It has to be about the right length, start' with a 'b', contain numbers etc. Otherwise it's set to NULL. So now, nobody' will wind up pasting whatever the last thing they cut & pasted during that day, ' into the recs/bin line. ALSO:a messagebox tells user there's no bib rec number. ' 9/9/kcaeoejwudvi4 - This program deletes C:\CatLabel\records.comtxt, then creates a new version to hold ' the new record. It creates a new file by printing the record to that file. In' Tools > Options > Record Print, the checkbox that indicates it should go to that' file MUST be checked. If it's not, the record is printed to the default printer' instead, and the new file is never created. The change is to verify that that' file exists, after the new record is printed. If not, user is informed, and' program ends.  ' 9/"10/4 - Made doSpellCheck% boolean variable, that starts out FALSE, and is set' TRUE just before Done: label. Then, spellchecking is called only if' doSpellCheck% is set TRUE. So spellchecking should only happen if this' program runs correctly, instead of also running when it doesn't run ' correctly. ' 10/1/4 - In sub SizeCheck, changed the automatic designation of monographs w/ call#' beginning with M9, where 9 is any number, as oversize, ONLY FOR SPECIAL' COLLECTIONS. Size of book must be checked for oversize & folio. For all' other locations, M9 still makes it automatically oversize. ' 10/25/4 - Changed Faculty Publications choice, under OTHER, and as requested by Christina' to put Archives at top of call number label, instead of Faculty Publications.  ' 11/8/4 - Stop NACR from being printed at the bottom of labels, when Other >kcaeoejwudvi<Special' Storage is chosen, for location/branch ' 11/19/4 - A message to user, sent when amultivolume set included discs, was in error.' "|n & 1 disc |u d" becomes "|c & 1 disc |u d" ' 11/22/4 - Installed inputbox at point where user is informed there's no .b# in the' the clipboard, to put into the record for overlaying. That lets user quit' program right there if s/he wants to. ' - RELATED: Program only clears the clipboard if program runs normally. ' - Made program read MemoryER.txt right off, so that it would have that information ' in case some problem ends the program, so that it could be written back to' MemoryER.txt. That write happens after the Done: label' - Made program provide an option to quit the program, if ff, call#, and 260 dates ' don't match. ' 2/5 - Adapted this program for Connexion' 2/28/5 - Barcodes now added to Special Collections Materials  ' ****************************************************************************' FUNCTION/SUB PROGRAM DECLARATIONS' ****************************************************************************declare Sub Checkcall (callno$, callgood%) 'PERFORMS (MINIMAL) CHECK ON CALL NUMBERdeclare Sub WriteBCode(bcodestrt$) 'CHANGE 1ST PART OF BARCODEdeclare Sub ChngeInit(init910$, initrec$) 'CHANGE 910 AND RECS/BIN INITIALSdeclare Sub GetBCEnd(bcode$, notMain%, reader%, bcodestrt$) 'GETS LAST PART OF BARCODEdeclare Sub CheckSeries 'LOOK FOR SERIES TAGS & CHECK PUNCTUATIONdeclare function CheckDlc (dlc%)declare function CheckPcc (pcc%) declare Sub GetFxdFlds 'BREAKS OUT FIXED FIELDSdeclare Sub CheckDates(dateFF1$, dateProblem%) 'COMPARES DATES IN RECORDdeclare function GetDate (targetLine$) 'EXTRACTS DATES FROM REST OF LINEdeclare Sub Chk245 (bad245%) 'CHECK, FIX 245 2ND INDICATOR 'GET DETAILS OF "OTHER" BRANCH/LOCATION declare Sub Other(st49$, item2$, chksize%, circ$, locate$, endnote$, quit%, paperBrnch$, _ callTag$, doBarcode%, status$, choice2%, labelEnd$) 'PRINT LABEL INFORMATIONdeclare Sub PrintLabel(endnote$, labelSize$, numVol%, branch%, st49$, row049%, _ labelEnd$, space$, paperBrnch$) 'READS 300 FIELD FOR BOOK SIZEdeclare Sub SizeCheck(ovNote$, locate$, endnote$, stnote$, over%, ovmsg$, let2$, Firstlet$, _ paperBrnch$) 'debug 'CHECK FOR DIALOG BOX CHOICES THAT CONFLICT WITH FASTCATTINGDeclare Sub CrossCheck(fastCatter%, chooseAgain%, tag%, branch%, retro%, disk%)Declare Sub CrossJuv(chooseAgain%, tag%, branch%, audn$) 'CHECK JUV CHOICE CONFLICTSDeclare Sub CrossDocs(chooseAgain%, branch%, tag%) 'CHECK DOCS CHOICE CONFLICTSDeclare Function IsNumber(someNumber$) 'RETURNS 1 IF PASSED VALUE IS NUMERICDeclare Sub SixFiftiesDeclare Sub CheckPreviousDeclare Sub CheckCallZ(badZ%) 'Check for call number that starts with Z, and with ' the following number >1199Declare Sub GetPrice(money$) 'Get price of material, [urlfor item record Declare Sub GetCallNo(callTag$, TagSubstitute%, GotIt%) 'Gets call#   ' ****************************************************************************' ****************************************************************************   option explicit 'MEANS ALL VARIABLES MUST APPEAR IN A 'DIM' STATEMENT - so if I misspell one, 'as I use it in the program, this line means program won't recognize it, so 'an error message will be put on screen.
