[MARCTAB_VERSION]
VERSION=5.00

[VERSION_UPDATES]
98/01/31 created MARCTAB.Ver for UniMARC tables

Remove UNIMARC Holdings Data   (FORMAT CODE = UNIMARC-H)
USMARC Concise Format for Holdings Data  
Includes all approved and published changes through Update #2, July 1994.
Reason : nothing was translated yet and some adjustments will have to be done. Will be available later.

Changed UNIMARC Bibliographic definitions for the following fields (FORMAT CODE=UNIMARC-B)
All FORMAT TYPES
003 - added to accept ADVANCE site definition
852 - redefined to suit to ADVANCE new release 6.7
913 - added to accept PLUS author-title key
949 - defined to suit to PLUS holdings definition

A lot of description have been added for fields and subfields. Nothing existing for the following fieds: 
· 050 (acquisitions specific number ; for ADVANCE) ; 
· 131 j, k, l which concern bathhymetric measures for maps ; UNIMARC Manual doesn't give any precision
· whole block 3XX (what to set, when original name is "Text of note" ?)...
· whole block 4XX (name of field is theorically significant enough; filling description is double information and very long to do : about 36 fields, which have to be duplicated in each bibliographic table...).
· whole block 9XX (local fields), except for 949.

Reordering on numeric subfields was awfull. Always set numeric subfields in ordering value = 1 (after alphabetics).

Added values | (pipe) or || in the following positions : 
- 100 pos. 20 (table name = OFFICIEL)
-          25 (table name = TRANSLIT)
-          30 (table name = CARACT)
-          32 (table name = CARACT2)
- 105 pos. 09 (table name = MELANGES)
-          10 (table name = INDEX)
-          12 (table name = BIOGRAPHIE)

Set all defaults copies to "preserve" instead of reinitialized in text data fields and subfields.

Changed $4 (in all subfields / tables / formats) from non repeatable to repeatable.
Changed 345 $a (in all subfields / tables in UNIMARC-B) from mandatory to non-mandatory.
Added some subfields ($g, $n) in fields 464 for table SO (Sound recordings).

Added following tables : 
- DR Dossiers (docs regroupés artificiellement) ; leader = ca
- DS Dépouillements enregistrements sonores ; leader = ja
- MS Manuscrits; leader = bm.

Compacted.
