<div><font face="Arial" size="2">has had anybody an experience with conversion from
CDS/ISIS database to Koha? </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">We have following problem: import from iso2709 from
WinISIS doesn't made correct records. Number of imported records is correct but
differents fields are not recognized correctly. I.e. first numbers of
iso record: 008620000000002650004500003000500... etc are considered as
field. It is possible that Koha does not recognize ^ indicator of
subfield when CDS/ISIS database is made on Windows? Our Koha runs on
Linux.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Please help!</font></div>

When exporting the data from WinISIS you have to make sure it is not limited to 80 chars per line (there should be no CR/LF characters which are not part of a field value ) and has the proper record terminator, field terminator and subfield delimiter. The expected values are RT - ASCII code 29 (hex = 0x1D), FT - 30 (hex=0x1E), SD - 31 (hex=0x1F).
