Bug ID: 42261
Summary: Inaccurate detection of character-length errors in
fixed marc fields 006/007

This bug resulted from Bug 40272
(https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40272) where Koha
now shows an error for invalid character lengths in fixed-length control
fields, but they are not being detected incorrectly and showing errors where
there are none. While there are 17 spaces for 006, Koha is requiring 18
characters and is not recognizing the usual placeholders | and #. This error
was noticed only with electronic materials computer files so far where
characters 2-17 are supposed to be undefined. A bit more testing for 007 is
needed.
General behavior/recreation:
- When editing a marc record for a DVD, blu-ray, or other forms of computer
discs or electronic materials, there will be a warning that pops that says "The
following fixed-length control field(s) have an invalid length: 006,007. Please
fix."
- In 006, coding with anything less than 18 characters will trigger the error,
when 006 only has 17 positions
- Also in 006, trying to fill those 18 required positions with placeholders | #
will not be recognized
