Move Requests › Entering Member Data for Any Library Codes › Action Command Processing

Action Command Processing

When Power Input is not enabled, you can perform the following types of Action command processing:

• Change a line by typing over the member names, User-data, or Library Code. You can type C in the Act Cmd column, but this is not required.
• Delete a line by typing DEL in the Act Cmd column. When you enter DEL or C, the member being deleted from the Move Request goes through Reassign/Release Processing. For further information, see Reassign/Release Processing earlier in this chapter.
• Assign a member's Inventory Record to yourself by typing S in the Act Cmd column. If the member is already assigned to a user, but not to a Move Request, the Assigned-To Move Request is filled in with the number of the Move Request you are updating. You must not change any information when you are assigning the member.
• Inventory maintenance lets you change (IC), add (IA), view (IV), or approve (IP) an Inventory Record for a member by typing the desired command in the Act Cmd column next to the member.
• Clear a member's Concurrent Development flag by typing CDC in the Act Cmd column. If the member has unapproved inventory, the C flag is replaced with the I flag; otherwise it is blank. You must not change any information when you do this.
• Set a member's Concurrent Development flag by typing CDS in the Act Cmd column. You should not normally do this, CA‑PanAPT sets the C flag automatically. This Action command is provided so that you can undo an erroneous CDC action command. You must not change any information when you do this.
• Purge a member by typing PUR in the Act Cmd column. Purge is the same as delete except that it also removes the member from the starting level library. Purge is only valid for Move Requests in Being Created status. Furthermore, not all Library Codes honor purge; they require Member Existence exits that are capable of actually deleting members. The PDS member existence exit APAS0200 honors purge. Like delete, when you purge a member, it goes through Reassign/Release processing.

If you use action commands DEL or PUR to delete a member name from a Move Request, the member's assignment is affected:

• If the member name/Library Code is not found on any other Move Request, the member's assignment is released and the assigned-to Move Request number is set to blanks.
• If the member name/Library Code is present in other Move Requests, the member's assigned-to Move Request number is set to the Move Request that contains the member and has the earliest scheduled move date.

If you use action command C to change a member name or its Library Code, the member's assignment is affected:

• If the member name or Library Code changes, the old member's assign\-ment release is based on the same conditions listed for the action command DEL in the previous paragraph.
• The new member name/Library Code causes the new member's assigned-to Move Request number to be set to the Move Request to which the member was just added, depending on how auto-assignment is set in the Library Code for the new member.

If you use a non‑blank line for a Delete, the line you use is deleted if you do not change the To Member Name or the Library Code. If you change either or both of these fields, the member to which you change them is deleted, and the original member is not affected.

If you try to assign this member to yourself, assignment takes place as described in the "Inventory Records" chapter. If you try to assign and retrieve a member, assignment and retrieve takes place as described in the "Inventory Records" chapter.

If you are changing a Move Request that has been added to the Pending file through the Batch Add Interface, each member in that Move Request is processed as though the action command C was entered on each Line command. Processing continues until all members of this Move Request have been successfully verified.

Use the UP (PF7) and DOWN (PF8) commands to scroll the display.

From Starting Level

There are ten rows available on this panel for the entry of Member and User-Data. You can enter Member and User-Data on one or more of the rows. A blank field in this column indicates that no User-data is needed for this member. You can enter an equal sign (=) in the first position of any field in this column and it is replaced with the Default Member, User-data or Library Code/Subcode specified at the top of the panel. If you use the equal sign, you must specify a Default Member, User-data, or Library Code/Subcode value above. If you do not, CA-PanAPT gives you an error message. CA-PanAPT appends characters that appear after the equal sign to the end of the Default value to create the new value. CA-PanAPT does field edits on the new value after substituting the default value.

Member

Required. Length: 1-10. Type: alphanumeric.

Enter the member name of the member on the Starting Level Library you want to move. The Library Code typed in the same row dictates the allowed length and characteristics of member names.

User-Data

Required, optional, or invalid depending on the Library Code Specifications.

Length: 0-8. Type: alphanumeric.Enter any User-data for the member on the Starting Level Library you want to move. User-data can be any additional information about the member. The Library Code entered on the same line dictates the allowed length and characteristics of User-data.

To Destination Levels

There are ten rows available on the panel for the entry of Member and User-data.

You can enter Member and User-data on one or more of the rows. You can enter an equal sign (=) in the first position of any field in this column. It is replaced with the Default value specified at the top of the panel. If you use the equal sign, you must specify a Default Member or User-data value above.

If you do not specify Default Member or User-data, CA-PanAPT displays an error message. CA-PanAPT appends characters that appear after the equal sign to the end of the Default Member or User-data value to create the new value. CA-PanAPT edits fields on the new value after substituting the default value.

If you enter a greater-than sign (>) in the first position, the From Starting Level Member or User-data field is copied to this field. CA-PanAPT appends characters that appear after the greater-than sign to the end of the copied value to create the new value.

Member

Required. Length: 1-10. Type: alphanumeric. Default: from test member.

Enter the member name for all levels beyond the starting test level. The Library Code typed on the same line dictates the allowed length and characteristics of member names. If you leave this field blank or precede it with an equal sign, the From Member name is used as the default name. Any characters you type following the equal sign are appended to the From Member name to create the To Member name.

User-data

Required, optional, or invalid depending on the Library Code Specifications.

Length: 0-8. Type: alphanumeric. Enter the User-data for the member for all levels beyond the starting test level. User-data can be any additional information about the member. The Library Code typed on the same line dictates the allowed length and characteristics of User-data.

Library CODE / SUB

Required. Length: 1-7. Type: alphanumeric and national characters.

This column displays all of the Library Code/Subcodes associated with the members listed on the Move Request that you selected on the Move Request Maintenance panel. You can leave the displayed Library Code/Subcodes or change them.

Note: If you leave the Library Code/Subcode blank, CA-PanAPT copies it from the immediately preceding line. If the immediately preceding Library Code is blank, CA-PanAPT displays an error message indicating that a Library Code is required.
