Stacy,
what I do is extract records, see if that works the way I expected, then
go back and rerun the same operation as it were, but this time under
"delete MARC records" function. That way I get one file of selected
records and also the file of unselected records. And by choosing your
names for files carefully, you can also still keep the original source
file too.
