This looks like maybe there is an unprintable character in the LDR?  I took the data off the email and tried to compile directly, and seen no issues.  I can't tell you exactly what the code is you are seeing though with what is provided here.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] MarcEdit compiling problem

Something is going wrong with MarcEdit. I've been running this process for years where I create these little MARC records like this:

=LDR  01111nam  2200313   4500
=907  \\$a.b6092066x
=933  \\$aMarcive found multi matches on:"100 1  $aAdams, Levi."

I compile them with MarcEdit and load them in my ILS. It's always worked fine until this month.

Now the compiling is not working. The complied records all seem to have the wrong record length. Validate record structure gives this error:

Record Number: 1
Error: Record length doesn't match reported record length.
Record Length: 132
Reported Length: 00129
Record Text:
001291nama  0005213 Â  4500907001600000933006000016 \a.b6092066x \aMarcive found multi matches on:"100 1  aAdams, Levi."
----------------------------------------

They are all off by 3 characters.

What is that A with the circumflex? Is that normal? All these mrc records have that.

Any idea what's going on?
