These questions may be more appropriate to another list, so if you have any 
suggestions as to where they should be re-directed, I'd appreciate it.

I have 2 questions regarding sending z39.50 queries to the worldcat z39.50 
server.
1. Using yaz or the perl z3950 module, is there any way to get the server to 
return a record that contains ALL holdings for a particular record, not just 
the holdings for the state in which the querying library is located? For 
example, if I use YAZ to send a query to the worldcat server and request a 
return in usmarc, the record has a single 948 field that shows me the holdings 
for all libraries in Texas. Is there a way to get a record that contains all 
holdings?

2. How do you do a z39.50 search, using YAZ or the perl module,  for a specific 
oclc number? I can't figure out the syntax.

Thanks in advance.
