thank you OWEN, yes I tried converting with MarcEdit, but it does not convert. reading many tutorials, I think my problem is even in the data.
Is there a mailing list for ABCD? If so, I would ask them how to export records in MARC21 format. Or perhaps in UNIMARC, since Koha seems to support that as well.
I export and convert with marcedit, I open with the marc editor, I get the message that my file is not a valid marc.
What this means is that the file is not valid MARC21 (or any other variety of ISO-2709 that MarcEdit is able to parse).
this is an example of the exported record of ABCD base

Hmm, that does look like ISO-2709 data, but not MARC21 or UNIMARC. Do you know which variety of ISO-2709 it is? Here are the various parts of the leader (a.k.a. record label) that convince me that it's not MARC21 or UNIMARC: Offset Contents Description ------ -------- ---------------------------------------------------------- 00-04 00789 Record length = 789 bytes 05-09 00000 ??? 10 0 Indicator count (MARC21 and UNIMARC have 2 here) 11 0 Subfield code count (MARC21 and UNIMARC have 2 here) 12-16 00409 Base address of data 17-19 000 ??? 20 4 Length of the length-of-field 21 5 Length of the starting-character-position 22 0 Length of the implementation-defined 23 0 Undefined in MARC21
I try with exported winisis data and I can edit with marcedit. but I have 30,000 ABCD registration to convert. thanks for listening.
You'll have to find a way to convert the exported records to MARC21 or UNIMARC, or to some other ISO-2709 format that Koha supports. Either that, or convince ABCD to export in one of those formats.
