[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 016 & 029

Elaine, is your system stripping the 029 on import of records into the 
system?  If so this is why it will not save the 029 in a record.  We 
just discovered this with our system (Sage Library System) recently with 
a different field.  Once we removed the field from those that were being 
stripped on import we were able to have the field saved in the bib.  
Just a thought to explore & it may address Don's query as well, I'm not 
sure.
