Kate, I am not aware of any way to batch edit specific positions on the 008 or LDR. There is a possibility that a regular expression could be designed to replace a character in a specific position but that's beyond my abilities. There is an old launchpad bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1456685> that refers to the wish to be able to support manipulation of control fields and the Leader -- which I would love to see!
I'm copying in the general listserv to see if anybody else out there has a workaround other than export to MarcEdit.
