print-03: embedded item data omitted in MARC output
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
Running print-03 ("Download Machine-Readable Records") to export records in MARC Communications Format: item data (from expand_doc_bib_z30) or OWN-field is omitted.
Cause:
The "MARC" output format includes only numeric tags.
Resolution:
Specify "MARC with alphanumeric tags" as the Format (rather than "MARC").
Additional Information
If the vendor the file is being sent to doesn't accept non-numeric tags, the solution is to add a fix routine that changes the Z30 tagging to a numeric field, such as 930. See Article 000001766 ("How to change Z30 tags to numeric tags to send to vendors accepting only numeric").
