<div>Of course Ernesto's answer is, as always, correct - as he is the expert on CISIS. For non techis an easy way to convert such a MARC file is simply to import it into ISISMARC.</div>

There are three features to note when importing/exporting marc files with Cisis or Winisis, etc using ISO 2709 standard<br>
<ol>
<li>length of the line, wich in Isis is 80 chars (default) but you can modify it using 0 or marc
<ul>
<li>including the end of line control, Isis uses two chars (LF+CR) by default or only one char in .mrc files
</li></ul>
</li><li>subfield deliminter, which is <b> ^ </b> in Isis, but in marc it is a non representable ascii char (below 32) \asc 29 in .mrc
</li><li>leader bytes transfered in the first 20 bytes of the ISO file, and is not accesible neither in Winisis or Pft
</li></ol>
<p>Items 2 and 3 are implemented in Winisis, but item 3 is a feature only of CISIS<br>
</p>
<p>Therefore when you want to get the three items you have to do it using MX command,
<br>
I'd recommed to use 1660 version or MX, because it gets all the leader bytes<br>
</p>
<p>Let's say you want to import a .mrc file, from Library of Congress or Gutenberg project,
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><b><big>mx <font color="#990000">iso=marc=source.mrc</font> <font color="#3333ff"> isotag1=3000</font>
<font color="#009900">gizmo=gizdelim</font> create=myisisdb now -all tell=100</big></b></font><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li><b><big><font color="#990000"><font face="Courier New,
Courier, monospace">iso=marc=source.mrc</font>
</font></big></b><big><font color="#990000"><font color="#003333">is the source data, usually standard marc files comes with extension .mrc</font></font></big>
</li><li><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><b><big><font color="#3333ff">isotag1=3000</font></big></b></font><big><font color="#3333ff"><font color="#000000"> you need this parameter so you move leader bytes into conventional field v30xx</font></font></big>
</li><li><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><b><big><font color="#009900">gizmo=gizdelim</font></big></b></font> this is a gizmo to convert the delimiter \asc32 into our loved ^ as delimiter
</li></ol>
If you don't have this gizmo you can create it with the following instruction<br>
<br>
<big><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">mx null count=1 "proc='a1/1F/a11/hex/a2/^/'" create=gizdelim</font></big><br>

<blockquote type="cite">Hi,<br>
<br>
I want to import the catalogue of Project Gutenberg. It is available as a MARC file. I used the following mx command to convert is to isis.<br>
mx iso=marc=gutenberg.iso create=dbn now -all<br>
<br>
It seems to work ok, but when looking at the data, I notice that the ^ is not converted to isis format. It just shows<br>
<br>
245 14 aTitle h[electronic resource] bStatement of responsibility<br>
<br>
I see there are options for the import of the MARC file, but I do not know how to use them to get the ^ before the subfield.<br>
<br>
Please help me with the correct format.<br>
Thanks<br>
Renate<br>
