<br>Then use your favorite text editor to correct the errors. ( HINT : You might see two lines for 952 tag in marcedit and your text editor. It needs to be one line with proper subfields) <br><br>Reopen the corrected file with marcedit and compile it into .mrc.

<div><div style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hi,<br>many thanks for your reply. I hope you don't might my writing to you off the list. You were right: looking at the import file in a text program reveals end of line characters within the 952 field. My followup question is: do you have any suggestions as to how to get rid of it? We've been using MarcEdit for other things - could we use that somehow or is there another way/another program?<br>
<br>Reg the barcodes: yes we can assign new codes, and we will. I was just trying to find a way around editing 2800 records by hand, but that was just pure laziness, nothing else...<br><br>Thanks again,<br>Magdalena <br>

<br>I have come across Problem (1); It happened due to the import file having end of line characters in the middle of records data.<br>Please check it carefully, and while doing so, may I suggest you assign a new barcode to the chapters?<br>

<div style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hi,<br>SIPRI library is attempting to migrate catalogue records from 2.2.9 to 3.00.06.008. I know the latest stable release is 3.00.05, but our IT-guy got a little carried away (and then he went on vacation)! The upgrade however solved a major problem with blank record pages in the opac, but we still have some remaining problems we need help solving. Others have reported similar problems but I haven't been able to figure out how their problems were actually solved, hence this appeal.<br>
<br> Problem 1:<br>When importing a normal biblio with only one item to the new version, the one item is split up in two, with Shelf location on one row and Barcode on another. The rest of the item specific information is hidden. If I edit the record and delete one of the items and move the barcode to the remaining item, all the hidden information shows up.<br>
<br>So the question is, what is wrong? We use 952c for Shelving location and 952p for Barcode.<br>Also, we don't use actual barcodes, but instead use the barcode field for our accession numbers, for example G10/123 or 10/124. <br>
<br>Problem 2:<br>We occasionally catalogue chapters as separate biblios, and when doing so, we have used the same barcode/accession no. for each chapter belonging to the same book. It worked fine in 2.2.9, but since 3.0.x does not seem to accept duplicate barcodes this has now become a problem. Would it be possible/complicated/stupid? to alter the <a href="http://bulcmarcimport.pl" target="_blank">bulcmarcimport.pl</a> to make it allow import of biblios with duplicate barcodes? Is there a better solution?<br>
<br>Any help you can offer is much appreciated. Sincerely,<br>Magdalena Söderqvist, Librarian<br>SIPRI Library (Stockholm, Sweden)<br><br>*******************************************<br><br>System details:<br><br><p>New Koha version: 3.00.06.008 </p>
