RE: Create lists

[David Rodgers <drodgers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This works for finding field (tag) that is empty, but it also seems to work
for find the absence of a tag.
Try this:

use ! for marc tag
Then search
222 < 0

This looks for a value less than zero, which is "nothing" or blank, or does
not exist.
