Hi all, Thank you all for the responses to my previous questions about exporting/importing biblio data. I think I have a grasp of what need to be done. (seems to be a big bigger job than I was hoping for...) With that said.... I noticed another potential issue (maybe?). ************************************* =942 \\$cBOOK =952 \\$bPINE$dPINE$kF HAN$p74238$r{dollar}11.96$t3$v2010-05-13$u4247 =952 \\$bPINE$r0.00$w2008-08-17$u266$kF HAN$p70265$v2008-08-17 =952 \\$bPINE$r0.00$dPINE$w2010-05-13$u4247$kF HAN$p74238$v2010-05-13 =952 \\$bPINE$dPINE$kF HAN$p70262$r{dollar}13.99$t2$u263 =952 \\$bPINE$dPINE$kF HAN$p70262$r0.00$v2008-08-17$w2008-08-17$u263 =952 \\$bPINE$dPINE$kF HAN$p70265$r{dollar}10.96$t5$u266 =952 \\$bPINE$dPINE$kF HAN$p74255$r{dollar}10.96$t6$u4264 ************************************** In the above snip from MARCedit, the 3rd line and the 7th line both reference the same item ($p70265 -- barcode # 70265). Is this normal? Will the data in line 7 overwrite the data from line 3? ie: if line 3 contains the $v2008-08-17 field data, and line 7 does not, will the result be an empty $v field? Should I be concerned with this, or is this a normal occurrence? Thank you again for any insight. -Scott Owen Alma Public Schools
