[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 regroups artificiellement) ; leader = ca
- DS Dpouillements enregistrements sonores ; leader = ja
- MS Manuscrits; leader = bm.

Compacted.
