When you indicate the subfield, do you actually use "$a" or do you just use "a". If the first, I would advise using just "a". I've only ever used the Swap Field Data tool for one project before, but that's what I did and it seemed to work fine.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Extra character in field data swap
Hi everyone,
I need to flip vendor ID numbers from the 001 field to the 035. This is
easy to do using the "Swap field data" tool except that I pick up an extra
character along the way.
Original data: Field = 001
Modified data: Field =035
Indicators = 9\
Subfield = $a
This results in an 035 field with an extra "a" before the start of the
subfield:
=035 9\a$aASP1000382379/wasm
I have tried flipping these fields several different ways and always get
the extra "a" between \ and $ . Does anyone have experience with swapping
data from a fixed field into a text field? Thanks for any help that anyone
can offer.
Best,
Angela
