Can the delimited text translator produce MARCXML? I've set up a very simple 
use-case in a tab delimited file: three location (852$a-$c) with arbitrary values, 
no indicators. 

I've selected the import file and saved as type "MARC21XML (*.xml).

I've applied default leader and 008 values and applied the tags to their 
respective fields and arguments, then selected finish. 

The end results is always the same, something that doesn't resemble MARCXML 
as I understand it. 

My result:

=LDR  00000nam  2200000Ia 45e0
=008  140325s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d
=852  \\$test-location-a
=852  \\$test-location-b
=852  \\$test-location-c

LOC example MARCXML record:

Is this an undocumented issue or, perhaps more likely, am I doing something 
wrong? 

Many thanks in advance.
