As you already have found from your experiment, it's not currently possible. Does anyone on the list know if the MARC standard indicates how non integer tags should behave: as control fields (<010) or regular fields (>010)? Ashley are you still here? :-) Also is there any reason why your SYS field can't have blank indicators? Or does your ILS not support this? //Ed
