Still lurking :-)
The MARC21 Specification book says in its Definitions list that
Control Fields "are assigned tags beginning with two zeroes." Of
Data Fields it says they "are assigned tags beginning with characters
other then two zeroes."
So by the above definitions a tag of "00A" is a control field
whereas "SYS" is a data field.
