Hi, The concatenation as suggested by you works while importing data into Koha and it generates only one item. In the initial marc file there are different entries for 952 sub fields. I edited the marc file using marc editor and concatenated the 952 subfields as one line 952$a[Value]$b[Value]$c[Value]$p... It is ok to do for one record. But how to do it for multiple records. I meant how to cancatenate 952 subrecords for multiple records in a marc file. The data will not be the same for all items. Can you please suggest?

Dear Bob,
There are fields which are changing in each bib records like barcode number, prices, shelf location (for many book shelf location is different). Do I have to mentioned each value in column. Attached is the MARC specification file.
Thanks and Regards

Dear All,
During migration all data is successfully migrated MARC Tag from 020$ to 830 but all errors.
942$c (BK- defined in the Item type - Basic Parameter - Administration) 952$a (OSL - Defined in the Library, Branches, Group - Basic Parameter - Administration) 952$b (OSL - Defined in the Library, Branches, Group - Basic Parameter - Administration) 952$c (Primary, Secondary, Senior, UK - Defined in the Authorized Values

Please note that following items 952$p and 952$t is required but 952$p is for circulation only whereas 952$t is for library patron.
Issue:
When I migrate the database, the system is taking multiple copies (for[ example 5 copies or 7 copies) and all the details mentioned above is individually appearing in each copy.
Please help on the same.
Thanks and Regards Please reply to the list. Then others can also help you, and others may learn from your experience.
Because you have nine 952 tags, Koha thinks you have 9 items attached to each bib. Instead, arrange a single 952 like this: 952$a[Value]$b[Value]$c[Value]$p... and so on. (Don't put brackets [] in your data: replace [Value] in each sub-field with the appropriate value.)
I hope that helps, Bob Birchall CALYX
