I haven't much technical knowledge on this point, but someone gave me a
nice little piece of code which always sets my records straight. So I'll
pass it along
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$/ = "\x1d\x0a";
while ( my $rec = <> ) {
chomp $rec;
print "$rec\x1d";
}
If it works for you, great! And thanks to the original source, who I
would acknowledge, if I knew who it was.

Subject: MARC::Record / MARC::File::XML bug when fields contain
newlines?
I wanted to follow up on this message (saw it through the digest). New
lines actually are invalid characters in a USMARC record. There are a
number of characters that are not allowed, and these happen to be two of
them. Essentially, MARC fields cannot be multi-line. This is why
MarcEdit's MARCengine automatically will sanitize this data away during
the breaking process and why records in the mnemonic format cannot be
multi-lined.
