On the road to koha, we have successfully import bibliographic records and authorities. Now, we have to import items record and problems begin . In our ILS, items are in a separate table. As we have not many options for export, i've tried to make a csv file and worked with marc edit (delimited text translator). I've followed the differents steps but i don't succeed to have a correct marc file. here is what i have for example =LDR  00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995  \\$x =995  \\$f =995  \\$o =995  \\$n =995  \\$v =008  120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =LDR  00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995  \\$x =995  \\$f =995  \\$o =995  \\$n =995  \\$v =008  120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =LDR  00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995  \\$x =995  \\$f =995  \\$o =995  \\$n =995  \\$v =008  120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d =LDR  00000nam a2200000Ia 45e0 =995  \\$x =995  \\$f =995  \\$o =995  \\$n =995  \\$v =008  120910s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d What i don't understand is i've good mapped my file but something miss.
