An entirely empty subfield is an illegally formatted thing, at least
according to the rules of MARC::Record/MARC::Field, and so I assume the
MARC format itself. So it's not th
records into a script that uses MARC::Batch
For your first question, instead of:
$batch = MARC::Batch->new(‘USMARC’,);
use:
$batch = MARC::Batch->new(‘USMARC’,STDIN);
For your second, the error is likely caused when a field you're using
as_string() on doesn't exist in the record
For your first question, instead of:
$batch = MARC::Batch->new(‘USMARC’,);
use:
$batch = MARC::Batch->new(‘USMARC’,STDIN);
For your second, the error is likely caused when a field you're using
as_string() on doesn't exist in the record.
So, you could do something like the following:
$field
Hello,
Two questions please:
1. I've written a script that opens a marc file for reading using this
syntax:
$file = $ARGV[0];
$batch = MARC::Batch->new('USMARC',$file);
It then loops thru the records using this syntax:
while ( $record = $batch->next()) {
.check position 6, 7
