I changed the process so constant data has to be associated with a field --
even if the data will be a sand alone content data element (i.e., you don't
join the data with the field).  This was done in part because the -1 value
was occasionally causing array boundary problems.  I can make a change that
will change the default value of a non-defined field to a positive value --
this would correct the negative array boundary issue and provide the same
functionality.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] delimited text translator constant data

Hello,

I saw that there was a change made last week to constant data, so maybe
something went off a bit?  Because I can't get constant data to work.

I want to add
998$mo
(the letter o is the only data in the subfield)

But when I finish and open the file, it hasn't gone in.  Everything else
went through.  Am I missing something?

select field: blank
map to: 998$mo
select: constant data
click: add argument
Argument added: -1 998$mo 1

Thanks,
