Hello Vijay,
A few things to note:
1) Last I knew, MARC::File::XML does not support namespace prefixes ("marc: ").
You can tell MarcEdit to leave them out by selecting Tools->Preferences,
select the MARCEngine tab, then uncheck "Use Namespace" and apply.
2) If you are not trying to preserve record ids from a previous ILS, you can
forget about the 035 field and let marc2bre.pl generate valid ids for your
records. I suggest grabbing the latest version from
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/export/10967/trunk/Open-ILS/src/extras/import/marc2bre.pl
, as new code comments help to explain the various options and a few bugs have
been fixed. Basically all the options are optional, so don't over specify
things you don't need. You probably want to try something like:
perl marc2bre.pl --marctype XML sample_marc.xml > sample_marc.bre
2>marc2bre_sample_marc.err
This sort of command should generate usable IDs/TCNs rather than try to
preserve them.
3) Finally, you may want to check out the new record importer-exporter being
demonstrated tomorrow: "Reserve your Webinar seat now at:

Good luck,
DW
