Sorry, everyone, but I'm still not getting my bibliographic records to import with my system numbers assigned to the biblionumber I tried what everyone suggested, then thinking it was our version (3.0.2), we upgraded to 3.0.5. That done, I tried again this morning having what I wanted to be my biblionumber in 999$c, with the same results. Using ./bulkmarcimport.pl -x 999 -y c -file marc03_18test.mrc -d commit my biblionumbers were assigned sequentially starting with 1,2,3... Interestingly, looking at the marc fields themselves, my 999$c was changed to match the newly assigned sequential, so that they were also 1,2,3... Giving up on that, I tried to use the online staged import method. In that case, the bilbionumbers were once again assigned 1,2,3... but the 999$c was left unchanged. We are at 3.00.05.003 Thanks again for your help. -- Linda Culberson lculber@mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O.
