It's telling you that the file format of your file is incorrect.  When MarcEdit breaks down the file, it's making some assumptions based on the correctness of the mnemonic format.   From the MarcEditor, you can run the MarcValidator, select identify invalid records, and generally find the record(s) that would cause these types of messages.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Error message in MarcEdit

Greetings,

I am editing a file of records that I had worked on in MarcEdit last week.
I am batch editing using the "Edit Subfield Data" tool.  I am attempting to add a subfield to one of the fields in all the records.  I am trying to add subfield 7 with 1 in the subfield data to the 952 fields in all of the records in this file.  I've done this a million times before but today I am getting an error message when I hit the "Replace Text" button.  The error message says:

"If this error message occurred while processing a MARC data file, try running the file through MarcValidator for more information about structural record issues.  Exception information:

Message: Index and length must refer to a location within the string.  
Parameter name: length

Source: mscorlib

Stack Trace: atSystem.String.InternalSubStrongWithCheck(Int32
startIndex,Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy) at MarcEdit.frmBatchEdit.cmd_Sub_Replace_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control. ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)"


Anyone know what this message is telling me?

Thanks,

Nora
