Description:
What merge routine should we specify in tab_merge for OCLC?

Resolution:
The distributed ./usm01/tab/tab_merge specifies tab_merge_adv_overlay routine 05 as the routine for OCLC..
tab_merge_adv_overlay gets into unnecessary complications for the oclc_server. We suggest instead that you specify this in tab_merge:.
OCLC merge_doc_overlay 09
And then something like this in tab_merge_overlay:
09 2 Y #####
09 1 N #####
09 1 Y OWN##
09 1 Y 0359#

You can add any other tags you want to preserve in the existing record as.

09 1 Y nnnnn

lines.
