Hello, 

I need to change field 008, but I have difficulty identifying different positions

I need to set these positions to "Undefined"

28 - Government publication
29 - Conference publication
30 - Festschrift
31 - Index
32 - Undefined
33 - Literary form
34 - Biography

I am trying to do it by using the Edit Field Data tool but I am missing something when asked for position, I put 29:
But then I have the error message : "Position Format is incorrect. Must be: startPosition:#ofBytes.  Example : 1:4"

I am completely lost with the second part of the Position

I was able to manage with other positions, but these... Headache

Could anyone help me please?
