check for duplicate barcode during a create session in copy/volume editor

[Steven Chan]

System details:

Evergreen version 1.6.0
opensrf version 1.2.2
postgresql version 8.3
Linux Ubuntu Server 8.04

Problem description:

While creating a new item in the copy/volume editor of the staff client, if a duplicate barcode number is entered, the cataloger does not find out until the cataloger have been through the Edit Item Attributes screen. It would be better to know right away that the cataloger have tried to add a duplicate barcode.

Confirmed in 1.6.1.4 and 2.0 beta5.

Attempting to do this generates an "unhandled error" message, an example of output includes:

FIXME: If you encounter this alert, please inform your IT/ILS helpdesk staff or your friendly Evergreen developers.

copy update

ITEM_BARCODE_EXISTS
An item with the same barcode exists

Ideally, the duplicate detection should occur earlier and perhaps with a more graceful warning?

I am setting this to incomplete unless someone can confirm this on 2.1+.

If it cannot be confirmed there, please set to Wont' Fix.
