    How to add a new country code into the list used by MARC 008?

    • Article Type: General

    Description:
    I would like to add "cs" as a valid country code for Czechoslovakia to be used in position 015-017 in MARC field 008. I have added it to the list of codes in /exlibris/dtl/u3_1/loc01/tab/marc_country_codes and restarted the pc-server but the field validator still flags it as an unknown country code.

    Resolution:
    The table is valid at the global dtle level - not the admin unit level. So please change the file : /exlibris/dtl/u3_1/dtle/tab/marc_country_codes, and restart pc after it.

    Additional Information

    country code marc 008
