Dear Linda & Ata, Thanks for your kind support and step by step guidance, I have successfully resolved my data-migration problem I have combined 082 & 952 field and sub-fields in single line with MarcEdit field mapping "join items" find attached for reference.

Sved, I've never used Excel to migrate MARC but have used MarcEdit and the Import Tool. I can tell you that your first record in MarcEdit looks like:

=LDR 00422nam a2200205Ia 45e0 = 08 2$a001-AYE =008 111116s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\**000\0\und\d =020 \\$a140135472 =082 \\$219TH ED. =100 \\$aAYER A. J. =245 \\$aTHE PROBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE. =260 \\$aENGLAND =260 \\$bPENGUIN BOOKS =260 \\$c1986 =300 \\$a223 =440 \\$nv. 1 =942 \\$cBK =952 \\$aMAIN =952 \\$bMAIN =952 \\$p45594

Everything in a field or tag should be on a single line The 260 should be like =260 \\$aEngland$bPenguinBooks$**c1986.

The 952 fields should be all one one line like =952 \\$aMAIN$bMAIN$p45594

There are some other problems with the record not having the correct indicators for MARC21, but I don't know UNIMARC, which I'm assuming you are using, so I can't help you there at all, I'm afraid.

Here is one of ours in MARC21 in MarcEdit for you to look at =LDR 01667pam 2200385 a 4500 =001 3 =003 Ms-Ar =005 20110528131125.0 =008 000608s2000\\\\aruab\\\\b\\\**s001\0\eng\\ =010 \\$a00009893 =020 \\$a1563490889 (alk. paper) =082 \\$a917.6703/G925a/2000 =100 1\$aGuendling, Randall L. =245 13$aAn Archaic campsite in the Ozarks :$btest excavations at the Ryan Site (3MA233) /$cby Randall L.
