[Koha] Help regarding 'items.itemcallnumber' (re-sent message)

[Joseph Coelho SJ]

_I am re-sending this message since I sent it from the wrong email address:_

Hello.

I am running Koha 2.2.3 on Windows 98. About 2,800 (out of the over 
40,000) books of our library have already been entered into the 
database. The small hitches have been sorted out and things as of now 
are going on well. The 'Circulation' part has not yet been used (though 
it has been tested).

However, I have one problem which I am not able to solve.

The field 'biblioitems.classification' is mapped to the MARC tag 942 $a 
(Institution Code)
I would like to also store this value in the field 
'items.itemcallnumber' for every item of the particular biblio.

I could not find any way out and, therefore, now run this script in 
MySQL after the day's data entry is done:
use blank223
update items,biblioitems set 
items.itemcallnumber=biblioitems.classification where 
items.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber;
quit

I tried peeking into the code in additems.pl but could not understand 
where I can tweak to get any change done.

I will be grateful if anyone can tell me what is the code I should 
include and where. I guess it may just be a line or two. (I am not a 
Perl programmer!)

Thanks in anticipation.

Good wishes
