You have a couple different ways you could do it.  You certainly could use the replace function using a regular expression like this:

Find: (=856.{4}.*)(\$u[^$]*)(.*)
Replace: $1$2/issues$3

Check the regular expression option

You could also do this using the Edit Subfield Function.  The tool has a special mnemonic to append data to a subfield.  In this case, it would look like:

Field: 856
Subfield: u
Find: ^e
Replace: /issues


Click Replace Text


The ^e tells the editor to add the data to the end of the specified subfield.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Adding a word to the end of every 856 field

Hi all,

I need to add the character string "/issues" (without the quotes) to the end of every 856 field in my file. For example, I need to change this:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1540-6261

to this:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1540-6261/issues

The ISSN is different in each URL, so I can't use the Replace function. 
How can I update these fields? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
