Maybe this will help Bernadette and others. In my Koha 2.2.1, I am able to enter 'c' and other data in 260$c, such as: $c c2000 $c 2000, c1999 $c 0200 [i.e., 2000] $c 2000 Dec. 17 The marc_subfield_table's subfieldvalue is varchar 255 (which seems excessive, but...) The MARC record retains these values! I imported records with the extra info in this field and it's there and looks fine. In the NPL-theme opac, it even displays *in MARC view*! HOWEVER, it gets chomped in the normal view. The chomping seems to take the first four numbers it finds and displays them: c2000 ---> 2000 2000, c1999 ---> 2000 0200 [i.e., 2000] ---> 0200 2000 Dec. 17 ---> 2000 So it seems that it's not a matter of Koha's MySQL structure, it's a matter of how Koha retrieves the data and displays it. --- Kim Scannell _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
