[Koha] Having problem using UNIMARC in Z39.50 target

[Andy Boze]

Hi, all. I'm wondering whether anyone else is using a UNIMARC Z39.50 
target and having a similar problem. We're running Koha 3.22.04.000.

I've set up a target for Bibliothèque nationale de France using the 
following settings.

Hostname: z3950.bnf.fr
Port: 2211
Database: TOUT-UTF8
Userid: Z3950
Password: Z3950_BNF
Syntax: UNIMARC
Encoding: utf8
Record type: Bibliographic

I got the configuration information from 
<http://www.bnf.fr/fr/professionnels/recuperation_donnees_bnf_boite_outils/a.profil_z3950_bnf.html>.

In the Koha cataloging module, I can retrieve records from BnF via 
Z39.50, but Koha doesn't display the results correctly. Most of the 
columns are blank. The author column contains data from the 100 field. 
In UNIMARC the 100 field contains general processing data, not the 
author. It appears to me that even though the target is configured as 
UNIMARC, Koha is trying to display the results as MARC21.

Is this a bug in Koha, or is there something else I need to do? I get 
the same results when I try the ByWater Solutions demo system. BTW, 
here's a copy of my YAZ session.
