Hi Zach,

I'm the colleague Heidi's referring to (just joined the list). Your
response to Ivon is correct: I would like to retain all existing 020
$z's except those that duplicate the correct ebook isbn.

I ran through your merge procedure, but the results were
disappointing. Most of the 020 $z's (now 998s) were deleted and
multiple fields were duplicated. I suspect there's something wonky
happening with the merge function, though I'll admit I've never used
it before today.

In any case, thanks for your help!
Alex
