Panel Field Descriptions

Enter an Action or MSL

Required. Length: 3. Type: alphanumeric.

Type ASN or S in this field. Or if you are assigning multiple members, you can type MSL to display a member selection list from which you can assign multiple members. If you type MSL, the Library code / subcode is the only other field required on this panel; all others are not used.

Library code / subcode

Required if the Member list panel field is N. Length: 1‑7. Type: alphanumeric

Enter the Library Code/subcode for the member you want to assign. The Library Code/subcode must already exist in CA‑PanAPT. Members with the same name but a different Inventory qualifier are treated as distinct by CA‑PanAPT.

If the Member list panel field is Y, this value appears as the default Library Code/subcode on each line of the Inventory Member List panel.

Member

Required if the Member list panel field is N. Length: 1‑10. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the name of the member you want to assign.

If the Member list panel field is Y, this value appears as the default Member value on each line of the Inventory Member List panel.

Transfer to User

Length: 1‑8. Type: alphanumeric.

Leave this field blank. CA‑PanAPT displays an error message if you enter data into this field while the Action is Assign (ASN).

Assign/Transfer to Move Request

Optional. Length: 1‑6. Type: numeric.

Enter the specific Move Request that is to be responsible for the member. The member must already be added to the Move Request.

If Inventory Member List panel is Y, this value appears as the default Move Request on each line of the Inventory Member List panel.

If you leave this field blank and your system requires assignment to a Move Request (defined with Control File System Information on panel APIP995), CA‑PanAPT automatically assigns responsibility to the Move Request with the earliest scheduled move date that has this member defined.

Member List Panel

Required. Length: 1. Valid values: Y (Yes) or N (No):

Y

More than one member is processed. CA‑PanAPT displays the Inventory Member List panel so you can specify and assign several members at once. A value of Y also makes the Member and the Library code / subcode fields optional.

N

This is the default. Only the member named is assigned. No list panel is displayed.
