This XSL stylesheet produces the PBS Item Table ANS extract file (PBS Item Table yyyymmdd.txt) from a PBS XML document.
The Item extract file provides information on the availability of items through the eAuthorities system, and also links Notes and Cautions to the PBS item codes.
The source document must be the result of the delta.xsl XSL stylesheet.
The result document is a text file.
The default field delimeter in this file is the tab character.
