Will this work for you?

Replace $3 with $z[whatever fixed text you want to add]

This would convert your $3 subfields to $z subfields and preserve the
holdings data already in the $3 at the end of the new $z.  It's not a
merge though.  And if you want to keep the data in $3 as well as park it
in $z, you'll need heavier hitters than I am.

Cheers,

Hi all,

 

I am working with ProQuest records and am wanting to add a |z to the 856
plus move any holdings information from the 856 |3 to the end of the new
|z. 

 

Any ideas?
