F9 (Edit Subfield)

Field: LDR
Position: 17
Field Data:
(whatever you want to change from; example could be: [012345678JKLM], with "Use regular expression" checked, otherwise, you could do them one-at-a-time, or selectivly put within brackets only those codes you want to change to I. For single codes, uncheck the "Use regular expression")

Replace with: I

#####

Field: LDR
Position: 18
Field Data: a
Replace with: i

(Again, Field Data would need to change to whatever is currently in byte 18--usually 'a' for AACR2, but if you have mixed records, you may need to look for other codes as well)

I hope this helps,
