    tab-mapping producing multiple 852s in holdings record?

    Description:
    I am using abc50/tab/tab_mapping to create a new holdings record when using file-90.

    There are two issues:

    1. Why are there two 852s being created when the 049 has only the specified value-

    holdings record-

    2. Why did the 852 $h and $i not get created from the data in the bib record?

    bib record-

    001 000576843
    003 NNU
    040 |a DLC |c DLC |d BAKER |d YDXCP |d C#P
    05000 |a BF575.H27 |b S39 2008
    08200 |a 158 |2 22

    Resolution:
    1) I found that wild cards are not to be used instead of the holding code in tab_mapping.
    There is a "default holding code" parameter in file-90, that can be used if records do not have any 049. But if there are ####### in tab_mapping, they will be performed *in addition* to the holding code, which may result in duplicate values.

    2) After #####, system stops reading the table. If you put the RPLCYBP code *before* the line with ##### wild cards, call number should be created as expected. The general ###### line will be performed, too, but there will be no duplicate values, just because there are no 05099 in these records.

    Additional Information
