[Koha] FW: Re: convert ISO to marc file with MarcEdit

[Ortiz Anzaldo Felipe Adalid]

Try with a PFT with marc21 tags in ISIS. Then import in MarcEdit to convert to Marc21. Before the process work to fix any issues you find in your ISIS records (1). Edit and convert in MarcEdit (2). Then import to Koha(3). Personally prefer the web interface to import records in batch (100, 200...500 or 1,000.

Is there a mailing list for ABCD?  If so, I would ask them how to export records in MARC21 format.  Or perhaps in UNIMARC, since Koha seems to support that as well.

What this means is that the file is not valid MARC21 (or any other variety of ISO-2709 that MarcEdit is able to parse).

Hmm, that does look like ISO-2709 data, but not MARC21 or UNIMARC.  Do you know which variety of ISO-2709 it is?  Here are the various parts of the leader (a.k.a. record label) that convince me that it's not MARC21 or UNIMARC:

Offset  Contents  Description
------  --------  ----------------------------------------------------------
00-04   00789     Record length = 789 bytes
05-09   00000     ???
10      0         Indicator count (MARC21 and UNIMARC have 2 here)
11      0         Subfield code count (MARC21 and UNIMARC have 2 here)
12-16   00409     Base address of data
17-19   000       ???
20      4         Length of the length-of-field
21      5         Length of the starting-character-position
22      0         Length of the implementation-defined
23      0         Undefined in MARC21

You'll have to find a way to convert the exported records to MARC21 or UNIMARC, or to some other ISO-2709 format that Koha supports.  Either that, or convince ABCD to export in one of those formats.  Good luck!
