Hi Koha List! with your help I have managed to solve the import. The mrc syntax:

=952 \\$oFCN(Shelf)$pbarcode$abranchcode$branchcode$yitemtype

and the "join" marcedit submenu hint was quite helpful. Thanks for your help. I'm not sure if it is the easiest way, I solved the multiple item import by spliting the dataset into a single item dataset and a dataset with the extra copies. The single item dataset is imported. The extra copies are imported by using a record matching rule, in my case using author and title, and setting the import for only importing items if a record is present. Marcel

Hi

You have to join the 952 fields into one...Koha ceate one item per 952 line.

However you need more fields there... 952$a, $b and 952$y as minimum I think (a part of the $o and $p)... using MARCedit.. just control and select both fields... mousse: right buttom and click to join... that'sll ;)

Dear Koha-List Members!

presently I am working on importing a school library (>10000 records) into koha. I have a csv file with all items. The actual format is:

author, title, full call number(shelf place), barcode

I convert this file via marcedit into mrk, and mrc file.

mrc sample: =LDR 00232nam a2200109Ia 45e0 =008 120501s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =100 \\$aauthor =245 \\$atitle =952 \\$oFCN(Shelf) =952 \\$pbarcode

Importing this mrc file via 'Stage marc record ...' results in a record with two items, one 952$o item and one 952$p item. I would expect to have one record with one item having the 952$o and the 952$p entry.

Is this the standard behaviour? Are there any settings where I can define which mrc syntax will result in creating a new item? Is there a documentation how the import is handled?

Some of my records have multiple item for one record, they look like:

author, title, full call number(shelf place), barcode1 author, title, full call number(shelf place), barcode2

How should the mrc file look like to get a multiple item import with each having the 952$o entry?

Maybe a marcedit forum would be the better address but maybe one of you can help how to set marcedit for converting the above mentioned csv structure into the necessary mrc file syntax?!

any hints, links are welcome. Thanks

all the best
