+ | **Character Coding Scheme checks in MARC Report** | ||
+ | In the past, the program has allowed you to configure which encoding scheme to use (MARC-8 or UTF-8) when checking records for invalid characters. This option was named ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 233, we have added an option called 'LOCAL SYSTEM CHARACTER ENCODING' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To better organize these options, we have renamed the first option slightly (from ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We've appended the help for these two options here, which will hopefully clear up any confusion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <sub> | ||
+ | CHARACTER ENCODING VALIDATION\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option determines how MARC Report will validate the characters used in your records. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default, the program follows the value in the Leader/09 (Character coding scheme). | ||
+ | |||
+ | If Leader/09 is coded ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If for some reason, the records you are checking do not have the correct leader/09 value, you can get around that problem by selecting either MARC-8 or UTF-8 as appropriate. In this case, the program will ignore the leader/09 value and always scan the records with the rules for the selected encoding.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | LOCAL SYSTEM CHARACTER ENCODING\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are using MARC Report to edit or review records that will be loaded into a particular library system, you may wish to set this option to the character coding scheme option that your library system requires. This will permit the program to warn you (using a cataloging check message) when any of the records in your file do not match your desired character encoding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default is ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | MARC-8: If you choose this option, the program will require Leader/09 (Character coding scheme) to be coded blank. If Leader/09 is not coded blank, MARC Report will warn you that the character coding scheme for the record being examined is not the one that is required by your ILS system. This is the default option. | ||
+ | |||
+ | UTF-8: If you choose this option, the program will require Leader/09 (Character coding scheme) to be coded ' | ||
