[OPEN-ILS-DEV] 1.6RC1 - Import (Staff Client) - possible bugs

[Duimovich, George]

This might be the problem - for our III system, the export is apparently fixed in an available software update for the release we're on..

	"When exporting records using Unicode storage of special characters, the leader/09 will be correctly populated."

Have you tried importing some known good records, to ensure that the problem isn't a bad leader in the III-exported records that says they're UTF8 encoded when they're actually MARC8 encoded, or vice versa?

http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/tests/datasets/lul_fre_100.mrc
should be a good set of 100 MARC8 encoded records to try out.
