Conversion of MAB records after switching to GND

Problem Symptoms: 

After switching to GND the conversion from authority tags in bib records (from MAB to MARC21 format) does not work anymore.

Cause:
The relevant tags in MAB which are linked to the authority database got new subfields, they are not included in the standard conversion of xxx01/tab/tab_fix_mab2usm.

Resolution:

 
1. Implement the new programs for export MAB data, which convert the new subfields to the old regular MAB-Export.
table tab_fix_mab
100 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_100
104 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_100
...
200 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_200
204 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_200
...
800 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_800
902 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_902
907 fix_doc_mab_gnd_build_902

2. Before performing the conversion of bib records with tab_fix_mab2usm export the records with xxx01/tab/tab_fix_mab. The entries in xxx01/tab/tab_fix can be:

MABUS fix_doc_mab FUNC=OUTPUT,FILE=tab_fix_mab
MABUS fix_doc_mab FILE=tab_fix_mabaseq
MABUS fix_doc_convit FILE=tab_fix_mab2usm
