Everyday, we harvest the various files on the LC MARC pages that make up the source codes, and assemble them into a text file named 'codelist.txt'. It is this text file that MARC Report uses during validation of the various source codes. The most recent version of 'codelist.txt' is published at this link: http://www.marcofquality.com/pages/codelist.txt
