+ | The default settings assume that in your system you index LCSH (6xx I2 = 0), and Local (6xx I2 = 4) subject headings. Thus, if MARC Report does not find a 6xx with either a second indicator of 0 or 4 in a record, it will report that record as missing a subject heading. | ||

+ | HOW TO ADD A SUBJECT FIELD CHECK | ||
+ | |||

For example, 690 is not defined as a valid tag in MARC 21, and will therefore always come up as invalid. The workaround is to add 690 to your local validation table as a valid tag. | ||
