    Question

    Journal is published 8 times a year, with Jan-Feb, Mar-Apr, June-July and Sept-Oct combined. 853 contains:
    $$8 1 $$a v. $$b no. $$i (year) $$j (month) $$u m $$v r $$wm $$x 01 $$y cm01-02,03-04,06-07,09-10
    Click: Tools > MARC21 Holdings > Open predicted items > the month information is duplicated.

    Why is the first predicted issue generating with the second combined month twice: 2015:Sept.-Oct.-Oct ?

    Answer

    To correct click: Tools > MARC21 Holding > Next Predicted Item’s Information and edit the second level of chronology(j) field. It will contain a combined issue, for example 09-10. Change this to a single issue, for example 09, and the predicted items will correctly generate.
