Elaine, is your system stripping the 029 on import of records into the
system? If so this is why it will not save the 029 in a record. We
just discovered this with our system (Sage Library System) recently with
a different field. Once we removed the field from those that were being
stripped on import we were able to have the field saved in the bib.
Just a thought to explore & it may address Don's query as well, I'm not
sure.

An 029 is a field used by OCLC to “system control numbers for records
from non-OCLC automated systems (e.g., Library and Archives Canada,
the British Library, WorldCat Cataloging Partners vendors, etc.). OCLC
uses these numbers to process and track records from other systems.”
http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/029.html. Not sure why it
doesn’t retain on save. An 019, which is another field specific to
OCLC, does (see http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/019.html). 029
seems to be system supplied; but, the 019 is system supplied…**

Hi Everyone,
As part of a project to add more fields to the general keyword index,
we discovered that we can't add the 016 and the 029 control number
fields to a MARC record.
It looks like it saves, but it isn't there when you do a new search.
It also never shows on the MARC View screen.
What do we need to do to add these fields?
Thanks!
Don
