+ | **Changes to MARC Analysis in 235** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Two new statistics were added to the top section of the report: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - A counter for the longest field in the file | ||
+ | - A counter for the most repeated subfield in the file | ||
+ | |||
+ | Along with these new overall numbers, we've added an RSN((record sequence number)) to the report in a few places so that it is easier to track back to the specific records generating these statistics. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following example shows the two new statistics (at the bottom), along with the RSN information: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | File size: 23558898 bytes | ||
+ | |||
+ | MARC record count: 13348 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Average record length: 1764 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mean Average record length: 1973 (11 records with this length) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shortest record length: 649 (in record number 1082) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Longest record length: 8391 (in record number 8487) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Longest field in file: 2001 (in tag 505 of record number 4999) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most repeated subfield in file: 505 $t (105 times in record number 5043) | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Changes to the format__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | We made a small change to the formatting of the section of the report that lists the Indicators and the Subfields for each Tag. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Prior to version 235, the Tag area would look something like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
+ | Tag Records | ||
+ | 041 | ||
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
+ | Indicator1 | ||
+ | #: | ||
+ | 0: | ||
+ | 1: | ||
+ | e: | ||
+ | f: | ||
+ | g: | ||
+ | h: | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | In version 235, it will now look like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
+ | Tag Records | ||
+ | 041 | ||
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
+ | Indicator1 | ||
+ | #: | ||
+ | 0: | ||
+ | 1: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Subfields | ||
+ | a: | ||
+ | b: 27 | ||
+ | d: | ||
+ | e: | ||
+ | f: | ||
+ | g: | ||
+ | h: | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The new format is not as compact as the old, but it is a bit less cluttered, and allows more individual Subfield occurrence stats to be displayed (within the single page format which has always been our guideline). | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you would prefer to keep the old format, start MARC Analysis, click the Options button, select the Output Options page, and check the box labelled ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default for this option is False (ie. to use the new format). | ||
