eeStoryCode (storycode)

In which input files is this field used?
In entries of DBI files
What should the field look like?
In the usual files (including w.dbi): fixed position, or [storycode:xxx]
What does the field contain?
Refers to the storycode of a story item.
If the storycode is unknown, this field can contain incomplete information, or it can even be entirely empty.
Which checks are done?
A valid storycode should be 6 characters or more.
Only printable ASCII characters are allowed.
If a storycode is an old code (in oldcode.dbx), this is logged and the code is replaced with the new code.
If a storycode starts with a 'Q', it should be a single Q, or in the form QMsomething (a movie item) or Qxx/something where xx is a country.
If a storycode seems to indicate a newspaper strip, the date in the storycode is checked: Z-codes should have a Sunday, while Y-codes should not have a Sunday in their code.
If a storycode is a subcode starting with 'I' or 'W', the code is replaced with the corresponding supercode.
(This is a new feature from 30 Jan 2007.)
Which CSV field(s) use this field?
The field guessedcode in table inducks_entry
The field storyversioncode in table inducks_entry
The field storycode in table inducks_storyversion
How is the data used in the rest of INDUCKS?
This field links the data from the entry to the data from the story. You could say that it is the most important field in Inducks.
