Appendix A. Conversion actions
Data can be manipulated using conversion actions. In this chapter follows a description of every action, together with one or more examples about how to use it.
Note
The behaviour of the conversion actions depends upon the following settings:
· Apply to output data
· Modify input data
1. Apply to output data = 0 / Modify input data = 0
The action is performed upon the current input data and the result is added to the current output data.
2. Apply to output data = 0 / Modify input data = 1
The action is performed upon the current input data, which are replaced with the resulting data.
3. Apply to output data = 1 / Modify input data = 0
The action is performed upon the current output data, which are replaced with the resulting data.
4. Apply to output data = 1 / Modify input data = 1
The action is performed upon the current output data, and the result replaces the current input data.
An example, where a name is converted to mixed case:
Input buffer Output buffer
JOHNSON {empty}
JOHNSON J Action: extract position 1
johnson J Action: to lowercase, apply to input data
johnson Johnson Action: extract position 2-999
An example, where the leading zero's are removed from a number of 5 positions (but always leaving at least 1 digit):
Input buffer Output buffer
00050 {empty}
00050 0005 Action: extract position 1-4
00050 5 Action: left trim 0-characters, apply to output data
00050 50 Action: extract position 5
(note that this yields "0" as result if the original number is "00000").

· extraction of link from between specified delimiters
· retrieval of link record
· retrieval of data in specified field/subfield
Repeat this until no link could be extracted.
Example
Current data : #12345678#Titel link
Start delimiter : #
End delimiter : #
Field/subfield : 200/$a
Result : The contents of field 200, subfield $a of the record with id "12345678"
Get data from link record
Function to use
"Get from link record"
Parameters to specify
Field
Subfield [optional]
Usage
The field (and subfield) are retrieved from the record that was obtained by the last "Follow link" action.
Example
Current data :
Field : 260
Subfield : $c
Result : The contents of field 260, subfield $c of the link record
Get data from linked field
Function to use
"Get data from linked field"
Parameters to specify
Link field
Link subfield (may be empty)
Data subfield
Usage
The field is retrieved from the current record.
If link subfield is not empty, the current contents of the input buffer are compared with the contents of this subfield and if they are equal the field is retrieved. In the conversion rule the source subfield must be the one that contains the link id.
If link subfield is empty, the link field with the same occurrence as the current field occurrence is retrieved.
Examples
Current data : AX-123
Link field : 930
Link subfield : $5
Data subfield : $a
Result : The contents of field 930$a if 930$5 is equal to AX-123
Current data :
Link field : 930
Link subfield :
Data subfield : $a
Result : The contents of field 930$a if it exists with the current field occurrence

"Repeat last … actions"
Parameters to specify
Number of actions to repeat
Usage
This is a special function, that indicates a repetition of the last # actions. It can only be used with GetDelimitedData actions. The group of actions will be repeated until there are no more group data results.
Groups cannot be repeated more than 10 times.
Example
Suppose that the last 2 actions were:
GetDelimitedData, end delimiter / \;
GetDelimitedData, start delimiter / , end delimiter ; \ :
Both add a prefix "+" to the data.
Current data : abc / def : xxx; ghi : xxx; jkl / mno
Number of actions : 2
Result : abc+def+ghi+jkl+mno
Set a conversion variable
Function to use
"Set conversion variable"
Parameters to specify
Name of the variable
Value of the variable [optional,default=current data]
Example
Current data : F
Name of the variable : RecordType
Result : The RecordType variable is set to "F"
If the current data are used, beware that they will be copied to the output buffer as well. So use the "Modify input buffer" flag if this is not wanted.
Get a conversion variable
Function to use
"Get conversion variable"
Parameters to specify
Name of the variable
Example
Current data :
Name of the variable : RecordType
Result : Contents of the variable RecordType
Check a conversion variable
Function to use

A.7 External
functions
The following external functions can be used:
Call an external routine
Function to use
"Call external routine"
Parameters to specify
Name of the routine (e.g. DoMyStuff^MyRoutines) – note that the ^ character will show as %5E
Parameter 1 [optional]
Parameter 2 [optional]
Usage
This action can be used when the standard actions are not sufficient for the data transformation (for instance, if information from the database is needed). The external routine should be of the form:
RoutineName(InputData,InputParameters,ReturnParameter)
InputData = the data from the input buffer
InputParameters = parameter 1 in subscript 1, parameter 2 in subscript 2
ReturnParameter = this is where the result of the transformation must be stored
Appendix B. Using the conversion actions
In the next chapter an explanation of how to use the various conversion actions is given.
B.1 Working
with conversion variables
The following screen image shows how a conversion variable can be set:
The conversion variable Year210d is set to the year as found in field 210 $d. Note the use of the "Modify input data" flag in the extraction of the year and in the assignment of the variable.
Later on this variable can be retrieved with the "Get conversion variable" action (see screen image on next page).
Note
The strings "ExtractYear^" and "VariableSet^Year210d^" are obtained through a data entry form.
Usage of "Check conversion variable" and "Get conversion variable"; note that first is checked if the variable is not empty with the "Check conversion variable" action:
B.2
Extracting and manipulating data[//]
In the following example an ISBN is extracted from the source data. The "Convert to upper case" action is used to make sure that an "X" at the end is in upper case - note that this action modifies the current output data.
Appendix C. Special fields
In this chapter an explanation is given of various special fields.
There is a special field "###" in records that have been exported from Vubis Smart that contains control data of the record. Its structure is:
Record type~Creation date/time-Mutation date/time
Record type is a number.
Creation and mutation date/time are of the form YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
The "000" field can be used to indicate the record-type of the record as stored in ^BB.
It may also have the following special values:
· D: to mark the record for deletion
· H: only load holdings – do not update bibliographical data
· R: to indicate that this is a see-reference record
The "000" field has no subfields.
When authorities are loaded, the destination database can be different between records. Therefore it is possible to define the database-id in a special field if it is different from the one defined in the import profile. This special field has the fieldcode "DBS", and has no subfields. Its only contents are the database-id.
Sometimes bibliographic records that are loaded from an external source into the local database, need to be linked to other bibliographic records in the database. Basically there are two cases:
· linking to records that are loaded together with the record to be linked, and contain a pointer to their source record-id
· linking to records that already exist in the local database
In the conversion rules the target field "LNK" will have a special meaning: it is a link field. This field can contain the following subfields:
$a link type (as defined in ^SysDD)
$b link record-id (for linking to other record in same run)
$c matching profile (for linking to database record)
$d matching key (for linking to database record)
$e volume number
$x data to be copied to the record with which the link is established
$y data to be copied from the record with which the link is established
(Use $b only if you are sure that the record is loaded in the same run)
· The format of the subfield $x/$y is as follows:
- destination fieldcode/subfield=source fieldcode/subfield, with multiple elements separated by a colon, e.g.:
- 910/$a=900/$t:910/$b=900/$v:910/$c=%CDROM:801/$b=801/$b
This means:
- 900/$t from record A is copied to 910$a from record B
- 900/$v from record A is copied to 910$b from record B
- 900/$c from record B gets as contents CDROM
- 801/$b from record A is copied to 801/$b from record B
record A is for $x: the record that is currently loaded
record B is for $x: the record with which the link is established
record A is for $y: the record with which the link is established
record B is for $y: the record that is currently loaded
The source fieldcode-slash-source subfield code may be replaced by {%string} for literal strings, like in the example for $c
Note
If a matching profile is specified, also the matching key must be provided by the conversion process
When the record loader encounters such a "LNK" target field, it will try to establish a link according to the subfield contents.
During the link process no attempts will be made to produce "links based upon links", so only the specified link will be established (if possible).
Any links that could not be established will be reported.
Examples:
LNK $a 41
$b 7378290X
The link (with link type 41) is established based upon the source record number of the link record. So this record be loaded in the same run.
LNK $a 12
$c ISBN
$d 9017460023
$e 6
The link (with link type 12) is established based upon the lookup by ISBN number of the link record.
The LNK subfield
The special "LNK" subfield can now be used in conversions to establish a link with an existing authority in the database.
The structure of the "LNK" subfield is "key / index", where index is the authority index in which must be searched with the specified key in order to retrieve the authority to which must be linked.
For instance, "03577899/Index035" will trigger a search in index "Index035" with key "03577899".
If any other subfields must be created for the field that contains the "LNK" subfield, the "LNK" subfield must be the first subfield.
The IDN field can be used for matching on database record id. A check will be done if the number exists in the database. If it does, an update of that record is done; if the record does not exist the incoming record is rejected.
The BBD field can be used to add location and material type information to ^BB for use with partial indexes. The BBD field can have the following subfields:
· LOC
- Location(s)
· MAT
- Material type(s)
The data are merged into ^BB(Database,Record,105,id), where id is "Location" or "MaterialType".
The HLD field is used for holdings data. Every so called "item field" of this field corresponds with a holding element and must have one of the following predefined codes:

Note
The electronical holdings are exported to the intermediate format in a slightly different way; instead of having separate subfields for every electronical holdings element, all elements are grouped per electronical holding as follows:
…,"HLD.xxx","EH-ALL")= element:data### element:data### element:data###…
for instance
EH-LOGON:user###EH-PASSWORD:password###EH-URI:uri###
The individual elements can be extracted from the electronical holdings buffer with the "Extract delimited data" conversion action, with as delimiters the element-id and the string ###.
Example screen of a simple holdings conversion setup:
Note that in this example there is no conversion of bibliographical data, and the "Copy all" flag has been set for the bibliographical fields.
Make sure to set the "Start new field" flag to 1 for the first subfield.
Appendix D. Editing with
the TreeView control
The TreeView control is used for editing data that can be organized in a tree structure. Editing of data is done similar to editing a file name in Windows Explorer:
· Click once upon the data to enter editing mode
· Enter the (new) data
· Type <ENTER> to store the new data, or <ESC> to restore the original data
The following commands are available:
: Create a new subgroup. This command is only valid when a group header is highlighted. A dropdown list with the possible subgroups will be displayed, or else, if there is only one subgroup, that one will be created.
: Edit the current data. This has the same effect as clicking the data once.
: Edit data that have been retrieved through a form or dropdown list. This is a fast way to change some detail in the data, and should be used with care as it may lead to unexpected results if the data formatting is not respected.
: Delete the current group. This command is only valid when the group header is highlighted.
: Moves the current field or group up. Note that for fields this makes no difference for the storage of the field data. Groups are however stored in the order that they are displayed.
: Moves the current field or group up. Note that for fields this makes no difference for the storage of the field data. Groups are however stored in the order that they are displayed.
: Saves the current conversion settings.
: Closes the TreeView.
