What this macro does
This macro adds a 752 field to a bibliographic record using information from the 008 field and a text file containing country codes and names and common city names
How to use this macro
Place cursor within the field preceding the desired location of the 752
If a 752 field is already present in the record, enter the 3-letter MARC country code for a second 752 field when prompted
Select appropriate geographic text string from menu
If the added 752 field ends with a blank subfield d ("$$d "), type the city name after the "$$d"
Press <F3> to check heading against Aleph's "Hierarchical Place Name" index
Press <Enter>
Troubleshooting
If you receive an error message that the country code is not found in the file, email Houghton's MEXpert to add the country code to the CountryCodes.txt file.
If you would like a city name added to the menu choices for a country, email Houghton's MEXpert.to add the city to the CountryCodes.txt file; until the city is added use the menu choice with the blank subfield d.
If the geographic location bytes in the 008 are blank, the macro will not run.
If you notice typos or incorrect headings in any of the text strings, report them to Houghton's MEXpert.
