    Desired Outcome Goal:

    Procedure: 
    Use fix_doc_do_file_08 in the following way: 

    1. Add a line to xxx01/tab/tab_fix 

    RDA   fix_doc_do_file_08 rda_440_fix 

    2. Create a file xxx01/tab/import/rda_440_fix with the following content: 
    !   2    3 4  5   6    7         8                                9 
    !-!!!!!-!!-!-!!!-!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    6 830##                    DELETE-SUBFIELD                p 
    7 490##                    SORT-FIELDS 

     

    For changing existing records the following tasks are required for the affected records: 
    1. Run "Download Machine-Readable Records (print-03)" and select the entire record (that is ALL fields)
    2. From the output file of print-03 run "Load ALEPH Sequential MARC Records (manage-18)" with options 
    - Update current records in the database 
    - Replace entire record 
    - Fix routine 440

     

    * For a variation on the preceding to handle the problem of multiple linked script 440s (and a couple of other formatting problems), see this  440to490.fix.rtf  document from Michael Edwards at Harvard.  He notes:  "1,723,440 bib records were modified with it via manage-37."
