Hi Anne. I was just working on the same thing when Andy's answer came in.
Here's my connection via Yaz with the search syntax in case that's useful:
Z> open tcp:fsz3950.oclc.org:210
Connecting...OK.
Sent initrequest.
Connection accepted by v3 target.
Z> base WorldCat
Z> find @attr 1=12 1005862
Sent searchRequest.
Received SearchResponse.
Search was a success.
Number of hits: 1, setno 3
records returned: 0
Z>
I noticed you can use:
format usmarc (the default)
or
format sutrs
I think to show full records with holdings you're supposed to do this:
Z> format sutrs
Z> show fa+ 3
Sent presentRequest (0+3).
Records: 3
[worldcat]Record type: SUTRS
Title: The mysterious senses of animals,
Author(s): Dr\XF6scher, Vitus B.
....
I think you can then keep hitting <enter> to scroll through all the
holdings.
I hope this helps (and it's correct).
Regards,
Simon

For question #2, I believe use attribute 12 (local number) will work.
Use attribute 1211 may also work, but 12 is probably what you want.

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.
