[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] REL 2.10 and export non-imported records

Thu Aug 11 15:26:52 EDT 2016

Hi Janet,

The issue is that it's not a MARC XML file.  The extension is in error and
in fact Dan submitted a patch (yesterday?) to fix that and make the
extension .mrc.  To my knowledge .mrc isn't an official extension but it
pretty widely recognized.  I would recommend changing it to .mrc or .marc
and since you're already using MARC Edit you can use it to change it to
MARC XML if you want to.
