We are trying to set up our SCAT table and the results we are seeing in
the Size of Collection reports don't match what we expect to have in our
training catalog for those call number ranges.

Our SCAT table in our training database looks something like this
(excerpt):

SCAT FILE MAINTENANCE (Call number)
STARTING # ENDING # CATEGORY DESCRIPTION

01 > 0000 009.9999 1 000-009.9999 Computers
02 > 0010 0099.9999 2 010-099.9999 Books and Journalism
03 > 0100 0129.9999 3 100-129.9999 Philosophy

The "Size of Collection report" looks like this (excerpt):

Range Description Record Count
00001-009.99992 000-009.9999 Computers 160 (under-reported)
00104-0099.99994 010-099.9999 Books and Journ 2141
01005-129.99995 100-129.9999 Philosophy 26 (over-reported)

Also, can anyone tell me what the numbers in the "Range" column mean and
give us some help setting up our table to report correctly?

Thank you,
