RE: Global update for III tag group?

[David Ruml <David.Ruml@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When the 240 and 245 were both coded as field group t, the system displayed
the 240 instead of the 245.  This was really confusing when it was like this
on the Circulation check-out receipt.  We asked Innovative if we could have
the 245 print on the circ receipt, since that is title the patrons are
familiar with.  Innovative said no...the system looks for the first tag
coded as group t and displays that one.  They told us the only way to get
around this was to have the 240 coded as u instead.  We were not in favour
of deleting the 240 altogether.

Would you please expand on the types of trouble you had with uniform titles
in the t tag group?

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.

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.
