[Koha] Batch import of MARC fails

[Elaine Bradtke]

Well that was tedious, but it was a single bad record.
Lacking both 001 and 003
But why did Koha spit out so many error messages?
I also wonder why MarcEdit didn't catch it - or does it only look at syntax
and not whether or not required fields are present?
