Hi Ernesto,<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for sending the instructions for MARC import. The Project Gutenberg catalogue data contains books in Chinese, Arabic, Russian, etc. The format is UTF-8. After conversion with cisis, these characters are not displayed correctly. What gizmo should be used and how is it entered?<BR>
<BR>
Regards and thanks<BR>

There are three features to note when importing/exporting marc files with Cisis or Winisis, etc using ISO 2709 standard
<OL TYPE=1>
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=1>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
</UL>
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=2>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 TYPE=1 VALUE=3>leader bytes transfered in the first 20 bytes of the ISO file, and is not accesible neither in Winisis or Pft
</OL>
<BR>
Items 2 and 3 are implemented in Winisis, but item 3 is a feature only of CISIS<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
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>
<BR>
<BR>
Let's say you want to import a .mrc file, from Library of Congress or Gutenberg project, <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B><FONT SIZE="4">mx </FONT></B><B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#990000">iso=marc=source.mrc</FONT></FONT></B><B><FONT SIZE="4"> </FONT></B><B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#3333ff"> isotag1=3000</FONT></FONT></B><B><FONT SIZE="4"> </FONT></B><B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#009900">gizmo=gizdelim</FONT></FONT></B><B><FONT SIZE="4"> create=myisisdb now -all tell=100</FONT></B><BR>

<OL TYPE=1>
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=1><B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#990000">iso=marc=source.mrc </FONT></FONT></B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#003333">is the source data, usually standard marc files comes with extension .mrc</FONT></FONT>
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=2><B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#3333ff">isotag1=3000</FONT></FONT></B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> you need this parameter so you move leader bytes into conventional field v30xx</FONT></FONT>
<LI TYPE=1 VALUE=3><B><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="#009900">gizmo=gizdelim</FONT></FONT></B> this is a gizmo to convert the delimiter \asc32 into our loved ^ as delimiter
</OL>
If you don't have this gizmo you can create it with the following instruction<BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="4">mx null count=1 "proc='a1/1F/a11/hex/a2/^/'" create=gizdelim</FONT><BR>
<BR>

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>
