INFO Function (I)

The ELIPS INFO function displays the current control information for an CA Librarian member and lets you modify it. Updating an archived member creates a new archive level. Normal CA Librarian validity rules apply to the information supplied in the INFO panel and the ELIPS installation requirements are observed for updates (see the section on the OPTIONS command).

DSNAME

The selected CA Librarian library. Not modifiable.

MEMBER

The selected member. Not modifiable.

LEVELS AVAILABLE

The number of archived levels for the member. This field is blank for a non‑archived member and is not modifiable.

DATE ADDED

The date the member was created. Not modifiable.

LAST UPDATED

The date and time that the member was last updated. Not modifiable.

PASSWORD

The current CA Librarian password for the member. If this field is changed, an INFO update changes the password accordingly.

Passwords can be any four-character alphanumeric string. Special characters are not permitted. CA Librarian assigns a password consisting of four random alphabetic characters to each module that is added to the master file.

You cannot assign the following CA Librarian reserved words as passwords:

LANGUAGE

The current CA Librarian language code for the member.

TYPE

The corresponding TYPE (see TYPES command). If the LANG is not defined in the TYPE table, the TYPE field is blank. You can specify either field. In case of conflict, the LANG field overrides the TYPE specification.

ARCHIVE

The current CA Librarian archive status for the member (Y, N, or S). You can modify this field to activate, deactivate, or suspend archiving for the member.

LOCKED

For wide record masters. Specify Y or N to lock or unlock the member.

DESCRIPTION

The current CA Librarian description for the member. This is a modifiable 30-character field and can be required as an ELIPS site option (see the section on the OPTIONS command).

STARTNUM

The starting sequence number.

HISTORY DATA

The area for entering up to five CA Librarian HISTORY records that are added to the member upon update.

The SAVE command entered on the INFO panel updates the member (if there were changes) and then redisplays the INFO panel. END SAVEs then EXITs the function.

The CANCEL command EXITs the function without update. You can delete all the old history records for the member by entering a Y next to DELETE HIST? If your site requires a programmer name or description and the required field is blank, you must enter the necessary information before the update is done.

A member Type Error Display appears if you enter a member type on the member information update panel that is not found on the Type/Language Table. This error display shows all of the acceptable member types. You must then enter a correct member type to proceed. You can enter a language type, using the /lan format.
