<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>First of all, thanks for the helpful responses; I have a
much better idea of how the advanced pattern tool works now. However, I tried
entering the values suggested in the FAQ at <a
href="http://koha.org/documentation/faq/how-do-i-create-a-new-subscription-for-a-journal-with-continuous-numbering/view">http://koha.org/documentation/faq/how-do-i-create-a-new-subscription-for-a-journal-with-continuous-numbering/view</a>,
and they do not seem to be working. When I test the prediction, I get the
following result:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Based
on the information entered, the Numbering Pattern will look like this: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;

</ul>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I remove the values from the “year” column
(z), I get:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Vol 104, No 486 <br>

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The volume doesn’t change every four. What I need is a
prediction that looks like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 104, No 486<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 104, No 487<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 104, No 488<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 104, No 489<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 105, No 490<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 105, No 491<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 105, No 492<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 105, No 493<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 106, No 494<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vol 106, No 495<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is it possible that one of my other settings is affecting
the prediction? <o:p></o:p></p>
