    Desired Outcome Goal:
    - Change content of field 690#8 from “ABC” to “GHI”
    - Add new fields 690#8 with “GHI” when no field 690#8 is available
    Required actions should be done when loading records using “Load ALEPH Sequential MARC Records (manage-18)”

    Procedure:
    Add the following fix routines in directory xxx01/tab/import:

    690_fix [Changes "DEF" to "GHI" in field 690#8]
    ! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    !-!!!!!-!!-!-!!!-!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    1 690#8 REPLACE-STRING $$aDEF,$$aGHI

    6902_fix [Adds a new field 690#8 with "GHI" if no field 690#8 is in the record]
    ! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    !-!!!!!-!!-!-!!!-!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2 690#8 COND-LOAD-VAL-FIELD Y
    2 LDR ADD-FIELD 690 8,L,$$aGHI

    Add the routines to xxx01/tab/tab_fix
    690 fix_doc_do_file_08 690_fix
    690 fix_doc_do_file_08 6902_fix

    PC server has to be restarted in order to activate the settings.

    When running p_manage_18 for loading records assign fix routine 690 and the required fields are created/modified.
