    Question

    How to delete a subfield with specific field content, e.g. $$zSpringer. If there are other subfields $$z with other text they shall remain.

    Answer

    Create a script in directory xxx01/tab/import/655_fix (sample name) with the following line (here for field 655):

     

    1 655##                    REPLACE-STRING                 $$zSpringer,

     

    Text "$$zSpringer" will be replaced by the text behind the comma, in this case by NOTHING which means that the subfield is "deleted". 

     

    Add the script as expand or as fix routine to either xxx01/tab/tab_expand or xxx01/tab/tab_fix with the following command:

    WORD       fix_doc_do_file_08             655_fix

     

    Additional Information:

     

    Another way of deleting a subfield with specific content is described in "Delete a subfield only when it has specific text in it using a batch job"
