Hi Erhan,
That's interesting to hear the prediction pattern has been working
successfully for you. We were trying it on a 2.2 beta2 system.

Which version do you use? I tried both patterns of you in version 2_0_3 and
they work without any problem, giving the same predictions.
At the IISH we have the following pattern for an incrementing annual, using
number instead of volume:
["2","0","8","1","a","no.","u","1","i","(year)","w","a","x","01"]
And the calendar changes have indeed no influence.

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Prediction pattern for annual serial
It's probably an odd boundary condition. Because every issue arrives in January, the
month never actually "changes".

Hi all,
I have a question about a serials prediction pattern that seems like
it should have been fairly straightforward, but took some time to get
the volumes to increment correctly.
The prediction pattern is for an annual serial where the volume should
be incrementing every year. The example I was using was for the
Journal of Hellenic Studies. When I was first setting up the
prediction pattern through the alternate serial control view, I did the
following:
*I added a first level enumeration for v.
*I selected the option to use calendar changes and identified the
start of January as the time when the first-level enumeration should change.
* I selected year for the caption
* I selected annual as the frequency
The resulting prediction pattern was:
["2","0","8","1","a","v.","i","(year)","w","a","x","01"]
I then set up my first issuance with a volume number of 10, but when I
generated the predictions, the volumes didn't increment.
We ultimately were able to get the volumes to increment correctly by
de-selecting the option to use calendar changes, which resulted in the
following prediction pattern:
["2","0","8","1","a","v.","i","(year)","w","a"]
I'm happy we got this pattern working correctly, but I'm still curious
as to why the calendar change option does not work in this situation.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
Kathy
