Re: 850 holdings

[Howard Pasternack <Howard_Pasternack@xxxxxxxxxx>]

LIB HAS is just a tag group (h) assigned to a field.  While it does special 
things in the Innopac, particularly in the telnet session, it can be 
assigned to any field.  Our LIB HAS is in 599.  One option for you might be 
to convert your existing 850s to another unused tag.  You should be able to 
do this without incurring an extra cost if you have global update, although 
you would need to work with the help desk on the tag display and maybe the 
tag definition.  -- Howard
