Okay...found a little more with trial and error... it seems it gets the 'itemcallnumber' from the 'items' page...not the MARC record... so...since it is ALREADY stored in the MARC 942.k field... is there some simple method of manipulating the database to get it mapped over to the 'items'? --Huck Huck wrote:
itemcallnumber: I've set the appropriate Cataloguing -> System Pref to map to 924k where they were stored on the 2.xx system that these MARC records were imported from...
do I need to run the 'rebuild_nozebra.pl' script again? I read on the wiki(pasted below)...the changes to Koha 3...but while it points out the changes..it doesn't really suggest a fix...unless the 'plugin marc21_callnumber.pl' is the fix..and if so..there is no link to it..and it is not found in the build directory for koha or the installation directories..
Please advise? Thanks,

from the wiki:
Call Numbers in Koha 3
How Call Numbers are Handled in Koha 3
What has changed
Koha 3 adds the following fields to the database (cn stands for Call Number):
* biblioitems.cn_source ( auth value, CN_SOURCE, stores the source of the call number: DDC, LCC, NLM, etc.) * biblioitems.cn_class ( plugin, marc21_callnumber.pl, helps fill in the rest of the biblio-level fields) * biblioitems.cn_item * biblioitems.cn_suffix * biblioitems.cn_sort ( for zebra sorting, stored as a decimal number) * items.cn_source ( auth value, CN_SOURCE, stores DDC, LCC, NLM, etc.) * items.itemcallnumber ( plugin, marc21_itemcallnumber.pl, helps fill in the itemcallnumber based on the record data ) * items.cn_sort ( for zebra sorting, stored as a decimal number) * items.ccode ( auth value, CCODE, stores the Collection Code of the item, can be used as call number prefix by some libraries )
This scheme gives us the ability to sort by both record-level and item-level call numbers; it gives us the ability to define sources of call numbers at both record and item levels.
With the new scheme, we have removed the following from the database:
* items.cutterextra * biblioitems.classification * biblioitems.subclass * biblioitems.dewey * biblioitems.lcsort * biblioitems.lccn
