Please suggest the reasons and how to overcome this situation. 





in my experience, i have found that Koha's 'bulkmarcimport.pl' tool seems to prefer marcxml files more than plain old marc files, for importing

i.e.: errors that are encountered in the marcxml file, seem to be handled better



try converting your marc file to a marcxml file (using marc2xml), then import
