Hello,
Two questions please:
1. I've written a script that opens a marc file for reading using this
syntax:
$file = $ARGV[0];
$batch = MARC::Batch->new('USMARC',$file);
It then loops thru the records using this syntax:
while ( $record = $batch->next()) {
.check position 6, 7
For your first question, instead of:
$batch = MARC::Batch->new(‘USMARC’,);
use:
$batch = MARC::Batch->new(‘USMARC’,STDIN);
For your second, the error is likely caused when a field you're using
as_string() on doesn't exist in the record.
So, you could do something like the following:
$field
Thanks Timothy for your help.
When processing about 5 million records I would expect some crazy records. The
new script (incorporating Timothy’s suggestions) exited prematurely on record
85,877 with: “Warnings detected: Entirely empty subfield found in tag 260”. I
know 260 is publication stuff

MARC format itself. So it's not th
