[Koha-devel] MARC import fails when no ISBN present 2.2.2b

[Thomas D]

20 June 2005


I cannot import MARC recorrds for books without ISBNs using the current
stable release, 2.2.2b.  Most of the books that ever were have no ISBNs and
never will.

Attempting to import a MARC communications format one record file without
ISBNs fails returning the following message whether or not overwrite
duplicates is selected in the import form.

"MARC acquisition system
Import into the reservoir

Import results :

    * 0 imported records
    * 1 not imported because already in catalog
    * 0 not imported because already in the reservoir
    * 0 not imported because they seem not to be in MARC format (or
ISBN/ISSN missing) !
    * 1 records parsed"


The same function works correctly using the LibLime Koha 2.2.1 demonstration
version for importing the identical file.

No related messages appear in the error log.

How can I correct and/or work around this problem?
