Dear friend, I am not familiar with ABCD. But as it is based on ISIS, it should allow you to define the output using PFT. So you can write a PFT to print the output in MARC format. Check out whether following link is helpfull- http://sites.google.com/site/abcdtutorials/Home/database-import 2011/6/17 Doug Dearden <dearden@sarsf.org>
Hello Admire,****
** **
Koha stores the data in MARC format, either MARC21 or UNIMARC, so you need to convert the data to that format in order to import it into Koha.****
** **
There is a free tool called MarcEdit that can help with this, it is available here: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php .****

Hope that helps.****

** **
Hi ****
** **
There is an institution in Zimbabwe that have been using ABCD but are having challenges with the system. They are now contemplating going the koha root. However, they want their bibliographic records to be migrated to Koha. They are saying they are not using MARC format in their ABCD. Any idea on how to do the migration.****
