      Hi Kevin,

Can you have the $y in the same 952 as the rest of the info?

Hi Caroline,
I removed the Story Collection records from b, PRBHS is a 
branchcode and I added the only item type I have "BOOKS" to the y 
subfield for every record. Reran the import. Same problem. The records 
look like this after changes.

Note: Until I figure out what the problem is, I only process a small 
subset of 299 records each time so there's not a lot of data to parse.

Hi Kevin,
Whenever I have this problem, it's because the branchcode doesn't
    exist.
Is PRBHS a branchcode in your system?
I also noticed your first 952 has $bStory Collection. Is that a typo
    from when you copied, or is this the actual value? If so, then Story
    Collection needs to be a branchcode also.
I'm not sure if the system would block for a lack of item type, but I
    noticed your 952's don't have item types ($y) either. I don't
    *think* it
    would block if there are no item types, it would probably block if
    the
    item type code was wrong, but you might have problems later in
    circulation if your items don't have item types.
Good luck with your project!
