RE: Global update for III tag group?

[David Ruml <David.Ruml@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We did something similar recently when we found that having a 240 in field
group t caused some problems, so we changed 240 t to 240 u.  This only works
for the records currently in your database.  If you want future newly-loaded
records to have the new field code, you have to get Innovative to tweak your
load table.

I created a list of all records that have 240s, then went into global
update.  In the command section, I told it to change t 240 to u.  The
preview tab will show if it is doing what you want.  This is in Millennium,
of course.  I haven't used character-based GU in quite a while.

Subject: Global update for III tag group?


Can global update be used to change a marc field from one Innopac field 
group to another?  For example, can I change all the 099 _0 fields in a 
group of records from the "Call number" tag to a "Marc" tag? How would I go 
about doing this?
Thanks in advance.
