Dear colleagues,

Here you are the response I got from Steve to my question. And by the way, I didn't receive any private e-mails about this issue.

Thanks.

Victor,

I did not see a reply to your question. Perhaps you received private 
responses?  


To change a lot of records I would use a perl script to copy 
the 'a' address field to a 'h' address field. Then load the patron file. 
If you have just one or two specific records then use an ordinary text 
editor such as notepad. Just make sure that it saves in 'text' format.

We use perl scripts to create multiple barcode fields. One with univ id 
with leading zeros, one without leading zeros, and one with the content 
of the barcode on the id card.

My $0.02.

I mean, I'd like to process records from a review file, read from them the address field and copy its value onto a newly created, non existent, address2 field. Is it possible by means of our usual tools (telnet management session, milcat client) or must I process the review file with PERL scripts on local PC and then load it inside Innopac (telnet 'Load MARC PATRON records from tape or FTS' option)?
