Here at GRPL, the catalogers type the assigned classification into an 
082 field, first indicator 0, second indicator 4, making sure it is the 
first 082 in the MARC record.  We do not use a subfield. Then when our 
inputters are attaching items on EG, that first 082 supplies the call 
field information and they do not have to re-type it.  For instance for 
a fiction book, we would type 082 04 Fiction Dilloway.  For a nonfiction 
book: 082 04 813.6 St82w.  It is working great.  We can do this now that 
we are not sharing EG with other libraries.  Libraries with their own 
classification schemes who are in a consortium with other libraries 
could not take advantage of this, but we are loving it.
