I have been putting a comma after the name and a period after the relator code 
and no period after $4.

Example:

Smith, James, $e publisher. $4 pbl

Don't know that any one way is better than the other, but in the absence of any 
instructions anywhere,  I defaulted to this pattern because it seems logical to 
me.

Subject: [RDA-L] Relator code and term punctucation

RDA Listers:

Do I have this right?

Both $4 and $e replace the ending period of the name (unless it ends in an 
abrevations like "Ltd."?  There is no period at the end of the relator code or 
term?

A comma precedes each $e, but $4 has no punctuation?

Thanks, Mac
