Data conversion from Destiny
We're converting data from a Follett Destiny system. In the 852 tag is a $x field that begins 'FSC' and is divided into sub-fields using @ as the separator. The '@b' sub-field contains a code of one or two digits e.g. 2, 22. Does anyone know what this code might represent? Bob Birchall Calyx

It's a so-called copy category, essentially a controlled vocabulary for grouping items for whatever purpose the library requires. Consequently, the specific interpretation will depend on what the library configured for their categories in Destiny.
