Hello,

I just tried yesterday this type of query on BNF !

So here it is with two examples :

@and @attr 1=1003 "Fillol" @attr 1=4 "Histoires du bout de la rue"

=> meaning author = Fillol and title=Histoires du bout de la rue

 @and @and @and @attr 1=1003 "Fillol" @attr 1=4 "Histoires du bout de la rue" @attr 
1=1018 @attr 4=6 "Ecole" @attr 1=31 "1975"

=> meaning first query and publisher containing Ecole and date = 1975

everything on the same line and don't forget "

@attr 4=6 means a word in publisher's name
@attr 1=31 is secondary, you can't use it alone.

so if you have 3 arguments you have 2 @and / @or in front of your query.

its like RPN

Regards

Alexandre Moradell

Subject:	Z39.50 batch search with Boolean operators
To:	[log in to unmask]


    MARCeditors,
    
    I would like to be able to use the Z39.5 client that comes with MARCedit to do 
    batched searching of OCLC. I can get it to work with a simple query, i.e.:
    
    @attr 1=4 "Title"
    
    For example, I´d like to be able to search [TITLE (bib1 index 4) and PUBLISHER 
    (index 1018)].
    
    But I´m not having any luck crafting more complex queries. I can´t seem to find any 
    documentation anywhere, and the OCLC Z39.5 docs are not very useful with 
    respect to formulating actual queries.
    
    Any help would be appreciated!
