UPDATE FIELD GROUP TAG WHEN MARC TAGGING CHANGES



If this option is selected, the will automatically be corrected when you exit a MARC field whose MARC tag and/or indicators have been updated.

Example: change MARC tag 110 (field group tag 'a') to 710 (field group tag 'b').
Before the change:



After the change - the field group tag is updated as soon as you exit the field (record not saved at this stage):



The editor uses the appropriate m2btab.fse.* to find the association between field group tags and MARC tags/indicators for bibliographic, item and holdings/checkin records (the asterisk represents a possible extension, such as m2btab.fse.uni for UNIMARC bibliographic records, or m2btab.fse.i for item records). Some systems do not have a m2btab.fse.* table, in which case m2btab.b.* will be used instead.

The load table used for authority records is primarily m2btab.anam.* or m2btab.asub.*, depending on authority type (the asterisk represents a possible extension, such as m2btab.anam.chi for Chinese MARC). On some systems, m2btab.a.* is used instead.

Load tables can be viewed via character based system menus:
M > MANAGEMENT information
  I > INFORMATION about the system
    C > CODES used
      M > MARC load tables
       [select appropriate table depending on record type and MARC type]

If the MARC tag is not defined in the load table, and no field group can be found, a question mark - '?' - is placed as the field group tag, and when you save the record you will be asked to select a tag:



The update of field group tags will happen whether or not you choose to show the

to add missing MARC tags to existing load tables.
