I did change the settings as you said. The name of z39.50 server appears in the list of the servers. When I make a search it shows up "No Results". But when I make search in the server using the same field, it gives me about 50 results.
I have also noticed that other z39.50 targets here have encoding as MARC-8. It searches the z39.50 records from the Library of Congress and all other targets except that I have defined. What could be the problem??? Please Help. Thankyou.
