You should look at the files you imported with MarcEdit or a similar tool. It may be necessary to reimport the corrected files after repairing them.<br><br>--Joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 12:07 PM, Jeffrey LePage <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeffrey_lepage@yahoo.com">jeffrey_lepage@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
We have a small library, and for the sake of simplicity, we run without zebra.<br>
<br>
When I run rebuild_nozebra.pl interactively I'm getting errors on 15 of our 8000+ records. Judging by the biblioitem numbers, I think all or most of these records got into the system when we imported MARC records from Sagebrush Athena.<br>
<br>
The errors fall into 2 categories:<br>
<br>
Error 1<br>
----------------<br>
Cannot decode string with wide characters at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/Encode.pm line 166<br>
<br>
I can see the wide characters when I query biblioitems.marcxml. For example, there's an accent mark over an illustrator's name in one of the Harry Potter books.<br>
<br>
How do I fix these records? I note that the biblioitems table contains:<br>
a) marcxml longtext<br>
b) marc longblob<br>
<br>
Error 2<br>
---------------<br>
No close tag marker<br>
<br>
The MARC record is indeed missing close tags. In each case, the datafield tag 952, subfield 6 is not closed. The MARC record ends like this:<br>
<br>
<datafield tag=952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><br>
<subfield code="7">0</subfield><br>
<subfield code="p">5595</subfield><br>
<subfield code="4">0</subfield><br>
<subfield code="0">0</subfield><br>
<subfield code="6">SPA_635_900000000000000_S<br>
<br>
<br>
*******************<br>
How should I fix these errors and how should I prevent them in the future? If I manually repair biblioitems.marcxml do I also need to repair biblioitems.marc (which is a blob)?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
