Re: Extra character in field data swap
Howdy,
Provided that your records do not have any other 035 fields with
indicators = 9\ , but the one's you wish to change, the quick and dirty
method would be using Replace All:
Find What: =035 9\a$
Replace What: =035 9\$
Select Replace All
Cheers, Paul

Subject: Extra character in field data swap
Hi everyone,
I need to flip vendor ID numbers from the 001 field to the 035. This is
easy to do using the "Swap field data" tool except that I pick up an extra
character along the way.
Original data: Field = 001
Modified data: Field =035
Indicators = 9\
Subfield = $a
This results in an 035 field with an extra "a" before the start of the
subfield:
=035 9\a$aASP1000382379/wasm
I have tried flipping these fields several different ways and always get
the extra "a" between \ and $ . Does anyone have experience with swapping
data from a fixed field into a text field? Thanks for any help that anyone
can offer.
Best,
Angela
