Hi Bryan, 

I'll take a look.  My guess is that if you retrieve the data in MARC8, you'd
get all the data (and the value might be escaped as {1E}, but in Unicode,
these types of data problems may not be able to accommodate.  I'll have to
see.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] 040s with odd character lose subsequent subfields

When pulling ISBN 9781467763158 from LC (LCCN 2014017423) using our
cataloging software (ITS for Windows), there is a character at the end of
the $e, before $c (the character appears to be an end of field character,
hex 1E). When retrieving the same record using MarcEdit, the subfields
following that character are lost (so instead of DLC$beng$erda$cDLC$dDLC, it
just has DLC$beng$erda). Ideally, whatever is causing this 1E character to
appear at the end of $erda in LC's records would be fixed so that the
character did not appear (I did send a message about it to [log in to unmask] on
Tue 12/16/2014 9:38 AM, but I don't know if they've had a chance to look
into it). On the MarcEdit side of things, though, it would be better if data
weren't lost when retreiving records via Z39.50.

Thank you,
