[Isis-users] JISIS - Problems Importing ISO Files - and PFT Formats

[Giuzzo Barbaro]

Hi to all
I'm trying to import into JISIS a 6.000 record ISIS-WinISIS database called TECA (it is a database used in many Italian libraries) and I get the following problems:
a) Repeatable subfields. when you use the % symbol to repeat only some subfields of a certain field (and not the whole field), the Import wizard cuts all the part of the field before the % symbol . For example: TAG 1 (Title) has many subfields delimiters: abcdefghi. If a record is "^aTitle^efirst description%esecond description" it cuts the Title and the first description. If you repeat the whole field beginning from the first subfield the import is OK. (The old CDS-ISIS Export/Import option worked well in both cases.)
b) The ISIS pft formats were not upper/lower case sensitive as to the subfield delimiter (V1^a or V1^A). It seems that the same formats imported in JISIS are case sensitive (?). So I need to change all the subfield delimiters to one of the two formats (upper/lower). Is it correct? - The problem is that someone used the upper case, someone the lower(!)
c) How can I manage the REF function used in ISIS pft formats in JISIS? TECA.pft has a REF(LV27) call, in order to display the contents of the single parts of a many-volume book. Is it possible to translate it somehow in JISIS pft formats?

Thanks for your help
Bye
