<listitem>
<para>Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well
as a valid value in the <symbol role="Variable">primary_oid</symbol>, the
<symbol role="Variable">secondary_oid</symbol>, or the

The <symbol role="Variable">primary_oid</symbol> represents the

<symbol role="Variable">sequence_num</symbol>.
