[Koha] marc import

Dear Koha-List Members!

presently I am working on importing a school library (>10000 records) into koha. I have a csv file with all items. The actual format is:

author, title, full call number(shelf place), barcode

I convert this file via marcedit into mrk, and mrc file.

mrc sample:
=LDR  00232nam a2200109Ia 45e0
=008  120501s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d
=100  \\$aauthor
=245  \\$atitle
=952  \\$oFCN(Shelf)
=952  \\$pbarcode

Importing this mrc file via 'Stage marc record ...' results in a record with two items, one 952$o item and one 952$p item. I would expect to have one record with one item having the 952$o and the 952$p entry.

Is this the standard behaviour? Are there any settings where I can define which mrc syntax will result in creating a new item? Is there a documentation how the import is handled?

Some of my records have multiple item for one record, they look like:

author, title, full call number(shelf place), barcode1
author, title, full call number(shelf place), barcode2

How should the mrc file look like to get a multiple item import with each having the 952$o entry?

Maybe a marcedit forum would be the better address but maybe one of you can help how to set marcedit for converting the above mentioned csv structure into the necessary mrc file syntax?!

any hints, links are welcome. Thanks

all the best

Marcel
