Yes -- use the Delete Selected Records tool -- set the 100 as the display field -- search for those missing that field --  delete those records.  That will get you a clean file.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Isolating Personal Name authority records

Our ILS is efficient about adding Main Entry and Added Entry personal names to what it calls a Authority Names file. The problem is that the only available export indiscriminately mixes those personal names with corporate names AND with subject authorities. Can MarcEdit be used to isolate personal name authority records (those with MARC 100 fields) and discard the remainder, leaving a usable list of personal name authorities?

Thanks!
