Add some entries to your webpub.def file, specifically:

b|n|5051.|-67|Incomplete contents||b|
b|n|5052.|-67|Partial contents||b|

You can suppress a field from displaying by creating an entry for the 
field in your webpub.def that has no value for the label 
element.  E.g., to suppress a z-tagged 785 with first indicator 1 and 
second indicator 7, add the following entry:

b|z|78517|&|||b|
