    Desired Outcome Goal:
    Procedure to change non-numeric xxx50 Z30 (item) tags to numeric for sending to vendors who accept only numeric tags.

    Procedure:
    Add a fix routine that changes the xxx50 Z30 tagging to a numeric field, such as 930.

    1. add a second line to the section of tab_expand, right below the expand_doc_bib_z30 routing. For example:

    PRINT-03 expand_doc_bib_z30
    PRINT-03 fix_doc_do_file_08 z30_930.fix

    2. Create the z30_930.fix in the $data_tab/import directory:

    ! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    !-!!!!!-!!-!-!!!-!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!100>
    1 Z30## CHANGE-FIELD 930

    This will change the z30 field to a 930 field.

    Additional Information

    If the vendor *does* accept non-numeric tags, see KB 16384-24321 ("print-03: embedded item data omitted in MARC output") to make it be included in the output.
