error message while doing z39.50 search
While doing z39.50 searches today, I was getting an error message for some books. When I typed the ISBN and hit search, this is what I saw: Koha Error The following fatal error has occurred: Wide character in null operation at /usr/share/per15/MARC/Charset/ Table.pm line 96. I can't seem to find a whole lot about error messages in the manuals. The 2 groups of books that were giving me trouble were Harry Potter books and American Girl books. Any advice? Thanks, Shelley

Hi Shelley This usually occurs when the server is handing you back MARC8 encoded records and you have told Koha to expect UTF8, or vice versa. Try going changing the setting for that Z39.50 server, and see if that makes the errors go away. Chris

Hi Chris, I used those same z39.50 search targets all day, but only received the errors on some books - most went through fine. Still the same thought? On Jan 5, 2011, at 3:10 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:

Yes, just try changing the encoding and see if the errors go away. For some reason its not uncommon for a z3950 to hand back some records in marc8 and some in utf8. It should be uncommon ....
