[Yulcat-l] Known Problem with a Macro Express macro and Voyager 10

[Thurston, Patricia]

Hello Catalogers.

During testing we discovered an annoying problem with one of our Macro Express macros.

Yes! You can still copy the Bib ID from the Voyager Cataloging module bibliographic record, using "Ctrl + F2", as usual. Please feel welcome to continue using that macro. No changes need to be made. That's a relief because this macro is embedded in at least one other Macro Express macro in our standard set.

Sadly, this same Macro Express macro no longer works from the MFHD in Voyager 10. This problem is on the list to be fixed, and is related to a display change by Ex Libris.  When using the macro CTRL-F2 to copy the MFHD holding number in the box, there is a space and the letter f added to the number because there is additional information in the title bar of the hldg# record (Holding ... for bib ... : [title]).

We tested all the macros, and could not find a problem caused by this display change in the MFHD; but that doesn't mean someone hasn't incorporated this MFHD CTRL F2 in a customized workflow somewhere. Please let me know if this holdings record macro causes problems with other macros! I would be grateful to hear about any conflicts this problem causes.

All the best,
