MARC MAKER FORMAT

The export utility will export MARC records to MARC BREAKER format if that option is selected. Here is an example of a text record exported in this format:

=000 00000nam\\2200000\a\4500 =001 0123456789 =003 NjP =005 19930422091534.7 =008 920806s1991\\\\nju\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\\eng\d =020 \\$a0777000008 =040 \\$aNjP$cNjP =100 1\$aSmith, John W.,$d1955- =245 10$aPolitical tides in America /$cby John W.

Our implementation follows the specifications listed in the MARCMaker/MARCBreaker manual (http://www.loc.gov/marc/makrbrkr.html), with perhaps one slight exception: MARC Report does not 'break' the lines quite as short as the LC utility does (but they will always be 'broken' within approximately 70 characters).

MARC Report will recognize and load the MARC Breaker character set conversion file (marc21.txt) if it is present. This file should be located in the user's My Documents\MarcReport\Templates folder. A copy of this file is included with the program during installation; a backup copy can be found in the program directory under 'defaults/templates'.
