William,

Did you get a solution to this? When I tried the operation, both with and without the regular expression box checked, only the LCSH headings got deleted. If you're still not able to selectively delete, you might try the regex 610  10.*$, 610 20.*$, etc.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Field deletions

Hello all

We have a project that is using MARCedit to delete or modify certain fields.  We are keeping fast subject headings but deleting lcsh headings. We have run into a problem with 610s and 611s. The delete field lines used to delete lcsh (really naf) headings is also deleting the fast headings

So using the Add/delete field utility thus:

Field 610   Field data 10
i.e. using the first two characters of field data for indicators and so on for 610 20 and 611, etc.

It wipes both 610 10/20 and 610 17/27 fields.

As far as I can tell, similar operations for 650 /0 and 651 /0 work fine, wiping only the lcsh but preserving fast heading.

I searched for any explicit deletion commands for fast headings, but it's not a terribly long task list.

Help! What am I doing wrong.  

Thanks
