Chris, Rogan, et al –
Thanks everyone! I got the report to come out with mostly correct things!
This is a win.
However, I cannot figure out why it is still spitting out tons of other titles
that I did not ask it to give me. I of course limit by owning library, then
by shelving location, then the marc tag as you explain below. It takes
forever to run, but then gives me about 3000 more records that seem to be
rather random from across all our collections. Is this because the report
IGNORED my filter by shelving location? Did it just go out and find all those
instances where there was an oclc number in the 001 field?
I cannot figure out the rhyme or reason behind all the extra data in my report.
How can I send you all the sql so you can see if there is something wrong
with what I am doing?
Thanks!

Jennifer,
Just leave the Field Transform as "Raw Data" and the Operator as "Equals" and
it should work as you're expecting. For a MARC field with subfields, you would
want to add an additional filter of subfield as Rogan's example suggests.
Hope that helps!

Rogan,
Do I have to do BOTH the tag and the subfield? And is 035 the only place in
the marc where the oclc number is? I was told it was in 001. And this is
how I have been doing it thus far, but getting weird results:

(my results were at least to show me something from that field!) Should I
just do “raw data” and “equals” and “035” or “001”? When I did that, it was
giving me an error…
Thanks!

Jennifer,
There isn't much more to it. Use the flattened attributes as a filter and
filter by tag = '035' and subfield = 'a' in addition to the other filters you
use. Display the normalized value. That's it. Add that onto your existing
report for the others values to get the 035. One downside is that if a record
doesn't have a 035 it won't display though.

Rogan,
Thanks for the reply. I already figured that I should probably be looking at
the flattened MARC fields section, but how do I use those to extract the OCLC
number from the MARC field? Can I select a particular MARC field to appear
only in the output? How do I tell the system to show me just that one field
and not all of them?
Specifics please. ☺
