Description:
I am coding a fix doc script for one of my loaders. I need to add a subfield "b" to field 300. The content of this subfield is "digital, PDF file". So I entered
2 300 ADD-SUBFIELD b,digital, PDF file

but it only adds the word "digital". file_08 completely ignores any text when it reaches the comma. I even tried to code it as
2 300 ADD-SUBFIELD b,digital\044 PDF file

with the same effect.

Any suggestions how can I get around this?

Resolution:
Since the comma is used as a separator, p_file_08 doesn't handle commas in text strings.

KB 16384-1683 talks about doing this with p_manage_21.
