Description:
Correction to the z39.50_server" document, 
Chapter 2.3.3. Element Sets

Resolution:
2.3.3.    Element Sets

z39_server supports two special element sets, “F” and “X”.

When the F element set is requested: 
if the F element set is defined in ./alephe/tab/z39_server/z39_server_elements, the record is returned according to the lines defined in the table.
if the F element set is not defined in the z39_server_elements table, a full record is returned.

When the X element set is requested, a full record including Aleph alphanumeric fields (such as CAT, SYS, and so on) is returned. The X element set is recognized for USMARC format only. For all other formats, it is ignored.

You can define additional element sets using the z39_server_elements configuration file.

MARC records returned by z39_server always contain the 005 tag even if tag 005 is not defined in the element set configuration (in ./alephe/tab/z39_server/
z39_server_elements).

note:
That is F is default set in the following sense: F is always recognized, also if it’s not defined by z39_server_elements.
