Biblio::ILL::ISO::Lost - Perl extension for handling ISO 10161 interlibrary loan Lost messages

Version 0.02

Biblio::ILL::ISO::Lost is a derivation of the abstract Biblio::ILL::ISO::ISO object, and handles the Lost message type.

None.

Each of the set_() methods will croak on missing or invalid parameters.

 Lost ::= [APPLICATION 15] SEQUENCE {
	protocol-version-num	[0]	IMPLICIT INTEGER, -- {
				-- version-1 (1),
				-- version-2 (2)
				-- },
	transaction-id	[1]	IMPLICIT Transaction-Id,   
	service-date-time	[2]	IMPLICIT Service-Date-Time,
	requester-id	[3]	IMPLICIT System-Id OPTIONAL,   
		-- mandatory when using store-and-forward communications
		-- optional when using connection-oriented communications
	responder-id	[4]	IMPLICIT System-Id OPTIONAL,   
		-- mandatory when using store-and-forward communications
		-- optional when using connection-oriented communications
	note	[46]	ILL-String OPTIONAL,

	}

new()

Base constructor for the class. It just returns a completely empty message object, which you'll need to populate with the various set_() methods, or use the read() method to read a Lost message from a file (followed by a call to from_asn() to turn the read's returned hash into a proper Lost message.

The constructor also initializes the Convert::ASN1 if it hasn't been initialized.

For any example code, assume the following: my $msg = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::Lost;

To read a message from a file, use the following:

    my $href = $msg->read("msg_15.lost.ber");
    $msg = $msg->from_asn($href);

The from_asn() method turns the hash returned from read() into a proper message-type object.

 Sets the protocol version number.
 Acceptable parameter values are the strings:
    version-1
    version-2

 Sets the message's transaction-id.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::TransactionId.

    my $tid = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::TransactionId("PLS","001","", 
					          new Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId("MWPL"));
    $msg->set_transaction_id($tid);

 This is a mandatory field.

 Sets the message's service-date-time.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::ServiceDateTime.

    my $dt_this = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::DateTime("20030623","114400");
    my $dt_orig = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::DateTime("20030623","114015")
    my $sdt = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::ServiceDateTime( $dt_this, $dt_orig);
    $msg->set_service_date_time($sdt);

 This is a mandatory field.

 Sets the message's requester-id.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId.

    my $reqid = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId();
    $reqid->set_person_name("David A. Christensen");
    $msg->set_requester_id($reqid);

 This is an optional field.

 Sets the message's responder-id.  
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId.

    my $resid = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::SystemId("MWPL");
    $msg->set_responder_id($resid);

 This is an optional field.

 Sets the message's note.
 Expects a valid Biblio::ILL::ISO::ILLString or a simple text string.

    $msg->set_note("This is a note");

 This is an optional field.
