Inventory Records › Inventory Assignment Actions › Inventory Member List › Message

Message

Display only. Each line in this column is filled in when processing for that member is completed. If the action was successful for the member, the message on this panel is:

successful

If all members on the panel are processed successfully, CA‑PanAPT redisplays the panel with the default values and a message indicating the number of entries processed on the previous panel.

If the action fails for any member, the updated panel shows completion messages for all members up to the failing one. The failed member has an abbreviated error message. The full text of the error message is shown at the top of the panel. The rest of the members below the line with the error are not processed until you correct the error or remove the failing member name.

Final Panel Processing

You have two options while viewing this panel:

• You can press ENTER. CA‑PanAPT processes the lines that specify a member name and have not yet been processed successfully. When all members have been processed successfully, CA‑PanAPT displays the panel with defaults reset and messages cleared.
• You can terminate processing by entering the END command (PF3).

You cannot scroll this panel.

Processing Flow

The Action field at the top of the panel determines the processing that CA‑PanAPT does on each member specified. The Action also determines which fields are required. For example, Assign and Release actions each require Member and Library Code/subcode entries. The Transfer action requires these two fields along with the To User field.

When you press ENTER, CA‑PanAPT starts processing lines, starting from the top of the panel, that have not been processed yet (that have an error message or a blank message). CA‑PanAPT stops processing when it encounters the first error.

Line data to be processed is passed to the Inventory Maintenance program in the same manner as if it were entered on the Inventory File Maintenance Entry panel. The Message fields for successfully processed data lines are updated with the message:

successful

Data Entry

You can enter data on any Member data line on the panel. You can also change a default value by typing over a portion or all of the value. A default can also be changed by appending characters before or after the default value. No panel‑specific commands are allowed on the Command line. END (PF3) is the only valid command and it terminates processing for this panel. It returns you to the Inventory File Maintenance Entry panel.

Error Conditions

Errors are identified with:

ERROR‑‑See message above

Errors display in the Message field. Panel processing stops when the first error is detected. An expanded error message associated with the error line is displayed below the Command line, at the top of the panel. After viewing the error message, you can process the lines below the error line by correcting or removing the erroneous entry and pressing ENTER again.

Termination

This panel continues to display until you enter the END command (PF3). Remember to press ENTER before entering the END command (PF3) to process any new data on the panel.

If any Retrieve processing is required, the Retrieve Processing Options panel is displayed. Retrieve processing might be required because you specified the RET action or because you specified ASN for some members that belong to Library Codes that have Automatic‑Retrieve‑at‑Assignment enabled.

The Inventory File Maintenance Entry panel is displayed with a line of totals indicating the number of members updated and the number of errors encountered.
