    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear JC<br>
      <br>
      With the suggested syntax, how do you distinguish between a
      repeatable field from the repeatable subfield?<br>
      <br>
      Example<br>
      <br>
      <b><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"> v12[1] ^aPersonal
          Name1 ^dDates ^rRelator term 1.1 ^rRelator term 1.2<br>
           v12[2] ^aPersonal Name2 ^dDates ^rRelator term 2.1<br>
           v12[3] ^aPersonal Name3 ^dDates ^rRelator term 3.1 ^rRelator
          term 3.2</font></b><br>
      <br>
      now, you want to extract the first subfield ^r  from the third occ
      of the field v12<br>
      <br>

      <div>Could you please explain how you use repeatable subfields in
        ISiS/WinISIS. I mean in PFTs. Do you think that extending PFTS
