Desired Outcome Goal:
How can I prevent subfields to be overwritten in BIB record when expanding information from AUT record.

Example: Author field 100 has subfield “e” (relator term) but is overwritten or emptied when the BIB record is updated from AUT record.

Procedure:
In table xxx01/pc_tab/catalog/scancode.dat in column 2 you have the possibility to assign subfields that shall not be overwritten when the field is taken from AUT record. See header of the table:

! COL 2. 20; ALPHA_NUM; ;
! Sub-field Code;
! Up to 20 sub-field codes that
! should not be overwritten when a heading
! is chosen;

Add the "e" e.g. to field 100, 700 etc. After that you have to run util m/7 and restart the GUI client so that the newly created table package will be transferred to the client.
