Hi Terry,
I tried the new merge feature with a file of 879 records. Two records
didn't merge and the differences were:
Record #1 had an 008/23 of o instead of s and had CAPITALIZED first
letters of each word in the 245 $b.
Record #2 had an 008/23 of o instead of s, a 245$a variation.
It seems this verifies that the merge match did what you said it would.
Very exact matching. I think it would be great to turn some of those on
or off if I was trying to match and just add an 856 or some content
notes, but it's still a nice addition to this awesome tool!
Thanks very much and Happy New Year to all!
