Hi all,

I'm not sure what to do with this error. I'm hoping it just has to do 
with how I am
opening or saving the file?

"Warning: Leader length is not the required 24 bytes."

I am processing a file of 44,000+ records from a Voyager system.
We think the file is Unicode.
About 6,000 of the records have the errror

"Warning: Leader length is not the required 24 bytes."

Is that a result of the conversion process or something that I
need to fix in each record?   My goal is just to get a MARC file with all
44,000 records in it.  What should be my process?  What I have done is:

Opened the file to .mrk successfully (checked MARC-8)
Compile the file to .mrc
Open the ,mrc file and got validation errors and only 38,000+ records
Ran Identify validation errors and saw the leader length warnings
Ran Validate Record and in the resulting report didnt see any leader 
length warning though plenty of
tag/subfield/indicator errors are there.
Complied that file to .mrc and then trying to open it still results in 
only 38,000+ records

Thanks for any suggestions.
Nancy Jo
