Description:
Is more information available on rep_change 1492?
Description: "Additional exceptional cases have been added to the mechanism that corrects the tag and indicators when a bibliographic field is updated from an authority record. When the updated bibliographic tag is 043,072,080 or contains a "9", the tag and indicators of the field are not updated."

When are bib tags 043, 072, 080 corrected, and how is the "9" involved?

Resolution:
The conditions under which an update of the BIB field occurs are described in KB 8192-2423.

As discussed in point #2 in that KB record, column 7 of tab01.eng would need to point to an ACC index in which this field (043, 072, 080, 9xx, x9x, or xx9) is included in order for fix_doc_ref_1 to be operating on it.

If one of these tags is included in tab01.eng -- and, thus, is being checked by fix_doc_ref_1 --, the tag and indicators are not updated (as tags/indicators of other fields can be).
