Hi,

I'm working with a batch of 122 Sage e-reference records from OCLC, 
which have the typical provider-neutral 856 mess going on.

Initial Field count report says:
Field 856: 370 occurrences. Found in 122 records.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If I use Add/Delete Field set up as follows...
Field: 856
Field data: sage-ereference
Options checked: Remove if field data does not match

Dialog alert:
248 fields were deleted.

New Field count report:
Field 856: 122 occurrences. Found in 122 records.

This is good.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

However, if I set this up in a task:
-- Add Delete field task
--- Field: 856
--- Field data: sage-ereference
--- Options checked: Remove if field data does not match

When I run the task, and then do a Field count report, I get:
Field 856: 248 occurrences. Found in 88 records.

If I set up an identical task *except* I leave unchecked "Remove if 
field data does not match", I get the exact same results in my Field 
count report.

It appears the task is not getting the message about the "Remove if 
field data does not match" option.

Thanks,
Kristina
