I found a way to search for broken links in your database and link the "broken
links" again!
Create-a-list and start with an order list if the broken link is an order and start
off with a item list for items not linked.  Then type in  ? for bibliografic and
then ^ linked record exist n(not) to o of ^ linked record exist n(not) to i. The
search should look as follows:
Start N> Item list and on item type in ? then >BIBLIOGRAPHIC> ^ not
i(item)
Find ITEM records that satisfy the following conditions
LINKED_REC not exist to i
Start N> Order list and on order type in ? then>BIBLIOGRAPHIC> ^ not
o(order)
Find ORDER records that satisfy the following conditions
LINKED_REC not exist to o

Go to Telnet> update review file . Choose you file. On the records -go to the
bibliografic and edit something on the bibliografic record. (I usually just type
something over again, just so that I get the option to " Make changes permanent"
Then the record is link again.
NS Remember always to edit the Bibliographic record not the item or order

Ek het 'n manier gevind hoe 'n persoon "broken links" kan opspoor in
jou databasis.
Gaan na create-a-list en begin met of 'n order list vir orders wat nie
geheg is nie of item list vir items wat nie geheg is nie.  Kies dan ?
vir bibliografies en ^ linked record exist n(not) to o of ^ linked
record exist n(not) to i. Die soektog lyk so
Begin by N> Item list en kies dan ? en dan >BIBLIOGRAPHIC> ^ not
i(item)
Find ITEM records that satisfy the following conditions
LINKED_REC not exist to i
Begin by N> Order list en kies dan ? en dan >BIBLIOGRAPHIC> ^ not
o(order)
Find ORDER records that satisfy the following conditions
LINKED_REC not exist to o

Daarna kan sommer op die telnet sessie na update en dan die review  file gegaan
word en dan word aan die bibliografiese rekord ge"edit"  (vanaf item of order)  en"
Make changes permanent" om weer te "link". Ek tik sommer iets van voor af in.
Dit was by ons 'n probleem omdat ons nie altyd geweet het watter items en orders is
nie gelink nie.
