Global adding of 007 field (fixed field)

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Desired Outcome Goal:
We would like to globally add 007 to a batch of bib records. Is this possible maybe with “Global Changes (manage-21)”

Procedure:
Adding of fixed field 007 via “Global Changes (manage-21)” does not work as in the field are characters, e.g. „^“ that can’t be used in p_manage_21.

Following is a workaround using “Load ALEPH Sequential MARC Records (manage-18)”. As input file you need a list of system numbers followed by library name as it comes out e.g. from “Retrieve Catalog Records (ret-01)”, example:
000001234XXX01
000001235XXX01
etc.

1. Run „Download Machine-Readable Records (print-03)” for these input file and select as outgoing field only “LDR”

2. Create a new table xxx01/tab/import/007_fix with the following line
1 LDR ADD-FIELD 007 ,L,u^nui---uuuuu

Adjust the content of field 007 to your needs.

3. In xxx01/tab/tab_fix add a line
007 fix_doc_do_file_08 007_fix

4. Restart PC server

5. Run “Load ALEPH Sequential MARC Records (manage-18)” with the following options

- Update current records in the database
- Append fields to a record
- Fix routine: 007
